[Opinions] Olivia...
I really like the literary roots and classic feel of Olivia, but am put off a little by how popular it is. So I wondered, what do you think of Olivia? Classic or boring? Also, what are some quirky mn combos you can think of to give Olivia a little more individuality?So far I have:Olivia Alcyone
Olivia Muirne
Olivia Seren
Olivia Rue
Olivia Meliora
Olivia Etain
Olivia Laverne

It's grown on me while at the same time being boring due to overuse... I think it's a good name for the mn position because then it can be appreciated w/out the kid being lumped w/ a dozen others w/ the same name at school... Thus, Laverne Olivia might sound nice.
Despite rarely liking -a -a combos, Olivia's long enough to pull of Natsuki (natskee) Theresa Olivia.Others (you can decide which side of Olivia they fit better on... putting Jpns. names in here in spots since you wanted somewhat unusual):

I think Olivia is very pretty, but yes, too popular at the moment. I've only met one, actually, and I grew up with her- she's 23 now, so her parents were ahead of the times.

I find Olivia boring. That doesn't mean it's not classic as well though, it's been around for ages - if I met and Olivia I wouldn't assume they were young.Olivia Seren is pretty

My sister is an Olivia Madeleine. I quite like Olivia, but it's a little too boring now. It's weird, because it doesn't look/sound boring in that it's similar to other trendy/popular names in a naming trend or whatever. I guess it's interesting outside of its popularity.

I love Olivia so much, and I love Livia even more. I do hate that it's so popular, but for Olivia I can almost look past it. I also love the nickname Liv.

I adore Olivia, regardless of how popular it is. If I had a daughter right now, I would name her Olivia Skye. I like some of your combos too. I really like Olivia Seren and Olivia Etain.
