Baby name for a girl...too weird??

When my husband and I first said "I love you" it was in the form of "olive juice." You know, you mouth the words "olive juice" across the room at your darlin and to them it looks like they said I love you..

So the time has come to think of baby names, and we are set for a boy. But for a girl I found one I absolutely love....Olive.

He keeps telling me it's like naming your daughter "apple" or "orange". But it's everyone now....Emma stones character in Easy A, a skit from SNL with Sarah silverman, and we even came across a nurse with that name.

Is it truly weird? He'd rather we named her olivia and call her olive. But I want her name to MEAN something special. And it seems to be becoming more popular..... :(

I think Olive is a gorgeous name. My sister is called Olivia so I can't use it! It is not a trendy unique name like apple - it's US popularity peaked in 1915 so it is a very old traditional name that is coming back :)

I agree, olivia is kinda like the name sophia. it's gorgeous, but it's so common. my older son is named maximus, which is growing in popularity itself. I hope I can swing him towards it :( not likely. he has an opinion just to have an opinion lol.

My friend named his daughter Olive, and I think it's adorable, and not like Apple or other weird celebrity names.
