Thoughts on girls name please

[lola85]

So we're really early in this pregnancy but have been discussing names since our first daughter was born.
If we have another girl DH would like to include his grandmothers name Olive....he prefers Olivia but I don't like it I know a lot of Olivia's but we both like Alivia as a different version. Any thoughts?

How about just Olive? It's lovely! Not sure on Alivia but it's by no means awful.

I love Olivia! We have a nephew Oliver so unfortunatately can't use it. Olive is just as cute. Love both.

I really dislike Alivia. It strikes me as being very tacky (sorry). I much prefer Olivia. If you're concerned about the popularity then I don't think Alivia is going to make much of a difference since they sound pretty much exactly the same out loud.

Olive on its own is nice.

Alivia depends on the pronunciation... I like the look and even the sound Al-live-vee-a but A in noway is pronounced the same as O
