Where the gods hold court on celestial heights, mortals gaze in awe at the summit of legends, where the beautiful soul named Olympia is rumored to dwell. Each periwinkle-colored letter ascends like a pilgrimage to the sacred peak of Olympus, each step quaking with ancient glory. In the lexicon of Hellenic beauty, her name glimmers like stars adorning the night sky, her essence lingering over the gatherings and processions of all the celestial beings.

I can't quite decide if I like this name. I mostly love it, however it does sound slightly pretentious- but I don't really care. I love Olly/Ollie/Oly as a nickname.

Reminds me of the word "Olympics". It's also the capital city of Washington. Despite this, I still like this unusual name.

I named my daughter Olympia in 2009. We have not met another Olympia in person... yet. My daughter suits her name very well. She's very loving and intelligent. We've never shortened the name ourselves, keeping true to the mouthful it can be. Though younger cousins have called her 'limpy' which I detest. She already owns her name and even as a baby it fit her so perfectly.

I really like this name. I think it sounds beautiful and I like the origin of it as well. Not to mention, geography lovers like me could claim this for the capital of the US state of Washington, like Sofia (Bulgaria). Anyway I am sure that the city is named because of Greece.

It was just the same place where Alexander the Great and Olympia run away from King Phillip II after marrying Cleopatra. Olympia was the birth place of Olympia.

I only know one girl in Sweden with this name, she's Polish. She only goes by Ia, hates her full name. I think it's a shame, the name is nice. I would like to call her Pia, but that has not been given as an option.
