ArchivesRe: Olgilvie
in reply to a message by JMS20
What were you reading when you came across this name? Was it the name of a real person or a fictional character?
It does look like just a mistake for Ogilvie, which is a surname from a Scottish place name.

It was a fictional person. All I could find was information on Ogilvie, so I didn't know if it was a real name or if the writer was making a name up or messed up the spelling. I didn't want to assume it was made up (or a typo that stuck) without checking it out first.
