Olympia

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.

I adore this name! It has a youthful and spunky feel to it, but it also feels like it would age really well!

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

I can only think of the Olympics of course, but I actually change my mind about this name. It’s quite nice and uncommon.

Reminds me of the Olympics, it doesn’t even sound that nice either.

It's pronounced Ol Imp Ia.

I love the name Olympia! I think it goes so well with the names Athena, Lois and Meredith! This is my current favourite name and have yet never met an Olympia.

Hello everyone, my name is Olympia I am female and 45 yrs old. When I was a child I didn’t like it because children picked on me but I love my name because it is who I am.

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.

Hey, it is great to hear the lovely nicknames of Olympia. I have heard so many people say wonderful things about my name and yet I'm finally growing into it. Im 38. Peers used to constantly ask if I was in the Olympics. Its nice to read these comments. Thank you!

This is a beautiful name. It sounds very mature but it has cute nicknames like Oly, Ollie, and Lia. I imagine a tall, intelligent, and graceful woman with dark hair when I hear it.

I know a girl named Olympia, and she usually goes by Oly - probably because her name is quite "stately", as another poster pointed out. It is a very beautiful name, though.

Gorgeous, whimsical name. On my favourites list.

This name is beautifully grand. I love Olympia, with the adorable nickname "Ollie".

I quite like this name; it reminds me quite a lot of Greek and Roman architecture, as in the columns and pillars which adorn many wonderful superstructures throughout the Mediterranean world. :)

*Olympia* is nothing but classy. Even though it has to be grown into, any female would be fortunate to bear such a stately name.

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.
