WDYT?

So a friend had her baby girl yesterday.  They named her Olive Pearl, this makes my cringe a tad.  I'm not sure why, but it does.  Is it just me?

I love both names separately.  It's too much together though.

Thats mean.. Olive would be a cute nickname for Olivia.. Hopefully everyone just starts calling Oliva "Liv"

This exactly.

A bit much together.

I have a friend with an Olivia Pearl. which is fine except they call her Livy-Pearl. cringe to that too!

This must be why it bugs me, it just doesn't go.  Oh well, the baby will go by Olive, which Ilike by itself.

That's almost as good as a co-worker who is naming her daughter Willow....their last name is lake. Thats right....Willow Lake (I can't wait to hear the middle name lol)

I don't like Olive or Pearl, and I really don't like them together.

I think it also bugs me because it's two nouns (that could also be used as adjectives). Olive is a food. Pearl is a jewel. So it sounds like they either love green-colored pearls or shiny olives or perhaps just love to eat olives and wear pearls. It's just too many inanimate objects in one name.

Hmm. I LOVE both names, and I don't hate them together but it is a little off for me. Two object words together is a bit much.

But I do love both names, so I am more thumbs up than down.

Pearl is okay.  I don't get why people like Olive.

I would have never put those names together (NMS) but I watched "Easy A" and the main character's name was Olive. At first I was like "who names their kid Olive?" but the actress had so much moxie she made it work. Pearl is NMS at all, but at least it's the MN.

like them both, not together.

LOL. This.

Although I love the name Pearl and Olive is really cute, but together they sound awful.

Olive was the name I had picked out for a girl, but I do think it sounds awkward with Pearl. I think it's the fact that they're both only one syllable that makes it sound a little off, not the worst name I've heard though. They could've named her Nevaeh

I would think she was 90 yrs old.
