Ollie

TheNextWest

This was my great-grandmother's name. I don't know if it's because I associate it with her or what, but I think there's something sweet about it

We have considered using Mollie to honor her, but it's just gotten so popular...

 

WDYT of Ollie?

Not sure I would ever have the guts to use it, just curious on other opinions of the name in general.

I love it, but only as a nickname for Oliver and only on a boy.

I think Ollie is bizarre on a female, and I like some boy names on girls.  I like it as a nickname for a boy named Oliver, though.

Go with Mollie.  It's prettier and I don't know any young Mollies.

It sounds like a boy's name to me. I do like Olivia, but it is now super popular

I have a nephew that goes by Ollie. I think it is associated more with boys now (a rare trend... usually names go from boy to girl!).

I think it would be a great nickname for Olive.

I see it as a NN for Oliver, and even then, I dont' like it.  I remember seeing a movie where Nicole Kidman's son was Oliver and she called him Ollie throughout the entire movie.  HATED it.

ITA.

I prefer Ollie on a boy but I think Mollie is so sweet and would be a great way to honour your great-grandmother. Is Molly really that popular? *checks SSA* It has been fluctuating between #107 and #90 since 1999... holding pretty steady, I'd say.
Mollie is less used (in 2009) by over 100 spots than it was in 1999.

I guess I am the odd one out, but I love Ollie! I associate it with a girl because I know a wonderful woman with this name.

I would only use it as a nickname for Olivia or something similar.

This is my mother-in-law's name, she pronounces it Oh-lee. It's not short for anything. My DH wanted to use it if our son had been a girl. It's not too bad, just NMS, kinda glad I didn't have to use it.
