Nickname for Olivia

FazFam

What do you think of Olive?

We found out we are having a girl last week, and I always knew my first daughter would be Olivia after my late grandmothers name, which was Olive. Now Olive is starting to grow on me, just wondering what you thought!

Ummmmm.... NMS. How about Liv? That's what Detective Stabler calls Olivia on Law & Order SVU. I like Liv a lot... like Liv Tyler.

Liv is cute too, and so is Livy. Thanks girls

I've heard "Liv" or "Livi"

I like Liv. Olive doesn't seem "cute" to me, because I just think of green, vinegary olives. But attached to a darling little girl, it would probably strike me differently.

The great thing about NNs is that you can have multiple NNs for one person, and they can change over time...

I think that Olive is cute and would be a great name for you, DH, and your family in general to call her.  Somehow, it sounds like more of a pet name to me than most NNs, so she might not want to be called "Olive" at school, etc.  So that's when the alternate Liv/Livvy nickname could be used.

NMS at all but Liv and Livy are really cute!

I like Olivia a lot.  And, I like Olive.  But, I don't like Olive as a nickname for Olivia.  To me, it seems like if you want to call your baby Olive, you should just name her Olive.

Liv is a great nickname, I agree. Very cool.

I'm w/ pp. If you want to call her Olive, that's a name. Just name her Olive.

To me, the nicknames for Olivia are Liv and Livie (or Livvy.. or however you want to spell it!).

I really like the name Olivia too but can't seem to get DH to go for it.  (Bummer!)  I think Olive is a good name or nickname, either way!  My great-grandmother was named Olive so it's a special name in our family!

Aliliv

My DD's name is Olivia and here are all of her nicknames (so far):   Liv, Livy, Ollie (I really don't like Ollie, but it's what her cousins call her and it sounds cute when they call her that), and she calls herself Oie Oie - like the O sound with ee at the end.  She's two, she can say porcupine but not Olivia:)

i think Ollie is cute.

Name your kid what you plan on calling them. 

I am not a fan of nicknames, especially intentional ones. If they happen so be but if I plan on calling my kid Mike I will name him mike, not michael.

My boss's daughters name is Olivia and he refers to her as "Livvy"..i think it's cute ( looks a little weird typed out though lol )

i think it's adorable

I love the name Olivia....you could name the baby Olive instead, or nickname her Olive.  It's cute, and it's honoring your gma.

Mrs.Zip

My sister's name is Olivia, also named after great-grandma.

We (or her friends) call her:

Olivia

Olive

Olive-hee-haw

O

Liv

Livvie

Livvie-Lou (Lou is not part of her name whatsoever ... it just came out!)

OJ (middle name is Jayne)

and a couple of her college friends call her Via because they think it sounds cool. Whatever.

 

Good luck!
