Olive
Olive Schreiner was born in South Africa in 1855. Her elder brother Oliver predeceased her, and she was named after him.There are no naming stats available here; not even birth records. So, on the assumption that we would if anything have followed UK usage in the 19th century, does anyone know when Olive first achieved significant use? I associate flower names in general with the end of the 19th century onwards, which would make Olive in 1855 ahead of its time. But I'm not sure.
