Olivette is pretty to look at and say. It has a dainty quality, while still maintaining a bit of spunk because of the 'v'. However, I find it less appealing than the solid and quirky Olive and would choose Olive over it any day. It's just one of those names in which the elaboration detracts instead of enhances for me.

Jenny is cute. I love the sound of this name but find the look and feel of it dated. I quite like it as a nickname though. I think I would be likely to use this over Jennifer, since Jennifer has become boring from over-use. I should point out that even though Jenny has a dated feel, it still seems so innocent and fresh when used in real life. It's attractive at any rate.

Leolia. Love the sound. I have a thing against tons of vowels in a row since I grew up with an extremely vowel-heavy name. However, this is darling. I have always been fond of the 'lo' sound and find it refreshing in girls names. the 'ia' ending makes this seem modern, but the entire feel is old-fashioned. While I am sure Loelia is not a made-up name... I find that changing it to Loeli or Loely is somewhat more appealing to me.

Viona - Darling. It has a sophisticated yet simple vibe. I am a huge fan of v names like Vale, Viola, Violet, Vivien, etc. This just seems to be a solid yet quirkier cousin to those. It reminds me of Verona, so I like the romance in it.
