Oregon Babies

Girl name...

Ok, ladies...I pulled up the Oregon Dpt. of Human Services records of baby names and it seems that my favorite name "Olivia" was the #1 most popular name in Oregon in 2008.  The 2009 records aren't available yet.  There were a whopping 236+/- Olivia's born in '08.  Does this seem like a crazy popular number, like DD would have tons of other Olivia's in her little world?  I'm leaning toward not caring and going with a name that I love.  What is your perception of how popular that name is in our area?

Re: Girl name...

  • I feel like I hear the name a lot and it has been popular for a while, although I only know one Olivia...it is a friend's little cousin.  I liked the names Sienna and Reese, but DH and I thought they were both a little trendy/popular so decided against them.  Go with what you like!

  • Arden is beautiful!  Thanks for your reply. :)
  • I say just go with what you like. We're having the same issue with our name. We're naming our son Aiden which is really popular right now but both DH and I like it so Aiden it is.
  • My "daughters" name was going to be Olivia.  But we had a boy.  Not too long before we had our son I realized how sick I was of hearing how everyone else was naming their daughter Olivia too. :(  I personally like names that are not used so much so I would say maybe use Olivia for her middle name instead?  :)

  • I'm a nurse in maternity, I seriously have at least one Olivia every single week!  I like the idea of having it as a middle name!

  • You could name her Olive :) I don't know how trendy that name is yet. At first I thought it was a weird name, but the little girl I know who has that name made it seem like a super sweet name. Her brothers are Calder and Tillman. So, her mom was very creative!

     DH and I are going to name our DD Chloe. We chose the name 6 years ago and we've been calling our not-yet-conceived little girl Chloe for so long it would seem so wrong to change her name now :) It wasn't that popular back 6 yrs ago, but it's #10 now I believe. I'm sticking with it though. I love it!

     So, in short. If you love Olivia - use it :)
