I like Olive Adelaide, because for some reason I'm in love with Adelaide at the moment.

I prefer Adelaide to Clementine, but Olive Clementine has a much better flow. A drawback of Olive Clementine is that I immediately think of food, though.

I prefer the sound of Olive Clementine over Olive Adelaide. But Olive Clementine makes me think of food, especially since orange peels are often used to season olives when they are cured. The best olives I've ever had contained orange peels in the mixture. Also certain types of olives are often paired with oranges in salads. I love olives and oranges together.

Just to let you know Clementines are a commonly eaten type of orange at least in the US. I don't know how common Clementines are in England. But if you don't mind the food association then I say go for Olive Clementine since it sounds so cute.

Olive Clementine is way cuter than Adelaide!

I love Olive! So much more fun than Olivia.
Since olive and clementine are both foods, I'd have to say Olive Adelaide, but I don't particularly like the flow of it.

I don't care for it, but I will have to go with Olive Adelaide.

I'm not a big fan of the combo, but I think Olive Adelaide is better. Olive Clementine is too food-y.

Olive Adelaide, definitely.

I love sweet, spunky Olive, but it really restricts the sorts of middle names you can use--no other foods or colors, for example. Olive Clementine sounds like a gross salad.

I'm not a fan of either combo, sorry! Although I'd go with Olive Adelaide between the two. Maybe Olive Adeline (pron. like -een, not the -ine way) or Olive Adelina would flow better?

I think Olive is very unappealing as a name. I'm not a fan of Olivia but I much prefer it to Olive. Olive Clementine isn't a good pairing because they're both fruits and the combination of olive and clementine is pretty gross.

Adelaide, I adore the name! (:
