The Prettiest 'O' Girl Names Alternatives To Olivia...and some wild cards you'll love too! SJ STRUM

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

Just realized I never announced our name. We welcomed Ms. Sydney Zoëlle on April 14th. Love watching you channel 🥰

[@amay4203]

Gorgeous name!

[@SJ_Strum]

Ahhh how amazing!! What a stunning name :-))) Thanks so much for sharing xxxxxxxx

[@Ms_me914]

Adorable name! Congrats

[@madeleinep7103]

Congratulations! Beautiful! I especially like the middle spot.

[@giannaromano8413]

Oh my gosh Sydney is my name that’s awesome! I love my name so much so I’m sure you’ll daughter will love it too:) congrats!

[@christiegeorge3958]

Odette just autocorrected in my phone to Pretty and I think that says it all 😍

[@Rebecca.Daydream]

Odette has been on my list since I was a child myself. I don’t know why it’s not popular either 🤔 A new version I’ve thought of recently though is “Odessa” which seems REALLY wearable. You’re welcome 😉👉

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes Odessa getting so much love!!! This is why i LOVE this community :-) xx

[@annaadams6372]

Ahhh ladies hush. My daughter is Odessa and I don't want to share lol

[@nora_julia]

Olena is really similar to Olivia, but I probably like it more, what do you guys think? 🤗

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes Nora that's so pretty! x

[@greenlotuskid]

I’ve heard that before.. I worked with an Olena.. I think she was.. Ukrainian? Such a lovely name

[@StargazerAPW]

I like Olena better than Olivia too

[@milliesok7133]

Yes! She’s the queen of thorns in Game of Thrones

[@oddmnemosyne2869]

For me it's Oleana > Olena > Olivia. Olena is a lovely name!

[@OMGitsaClaire]

My two names for Natalie’s dilemma are Nova (which means “new” and is both vintage and modern sounding) and Orin which is an Irish name meaning “pale green” and is both a bit of an old school choice but feels new as well. Both of them kind of have connotations of newness and freshness which I like.

[@tranquilitybasehotelcasino2932]

those sound beautiful together!

[@mmercer93]

I loved the name Olivia when I was little. Then I grew up and realized that so did everyone else. Lol. Our daughter is named Eloise which I think also makes a great alternative to Olivia.

[@christianbrown5192]

I have been obsessed with the name Eloise recently!! SO PRETTY!

[@Mystearicia]

I love the name Odette since Barbie Swan Lake, another name I love but does not start with O but has the letter, is Isolde, I just love how beautiful and elegant it is

[@SJ_Strum]

Me too! I always recommend Isolde xxxx

[@OMGitsaClaire]

I think another good one to add to this list is Odessa. I first heard it working on historical records because it had a wave of popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Turns out it’s a place name and a literary name. It’s a port city on the Black Sea in Ukraine and was named after the Odyssey. So the name literally means “odyssey” or “journey”. I think you could also use the nickname Dessie with it and that would be cute.

[@eaglefoot23]

Yes, I’ve always loved Odessa!

[@SJ_Strum]

stunning!! such a brilliant one Claire - thanks so much for adding it xxxxx

[@annaadams6372]

My daughter is Odessa 😊 She's 2. Nicknames are Dess and Dessa

[@MamaB313]

I was totally gonna suggest this name too. Lol

[@StargazerAPW]

That’s a name of a character in my book!

[@abigailpaul7024]

Shiloh was our boy name through out my pregnancy last year. But when our little girl came out she was so serene and peaceful we decided she suited it. Shiloh Aurora, little sister to Nova Ophelia 😊

[@jenamiller5024]

My littles are Kenna and Nora, and I LOVED Olivia but felt it was too popular. I went with Nora instead to keep the "O" sound and I'm so happy with it.

[@lucycolson6162]

Nora was my great grandmother's name. Always loved it but had a boy.

[@SJ_Strum]

Awww Jena it's so so lovely and I LOVE Kenna too!! xx

[@greenlotuskid]

My partner really fought for Nora for our little girls name. I wasn’t crazy about, i really wanted something less common, so I told him he had to find a long name with that as a nickname. We ended up Leanora. I mostly call her Lee though 😅

[@emilybird726]

For the name dilemma- A girl could be Orla (Irish meaning "golden princess" and a boy could be Edmund ("Fortunate protector") or the Irish form Eamon.

[@orlaisverycool]

Orla is a good choice 😌😌🤣

[@Abbytix]

I love Orla!

[@starlightabi]

I thought Orla too! It's works really well with the siblings doesn't it! Xx

[@sarahkateh6639]

I think Ava, Asher, and Ellis (for a boy or girl, from Welsh meaning "benevolent/kind") would sound lovely!

[@kristenriches9047]

My sons name is Ellis :)

[@oksanajanson]

Omg so shocked to see my name on the list 😳😍 how cool! Also didn’t expect to see an announcement about Oberon. We named our son Stefan Oberon 2 months ago ❤️

[@OksanaBelle]

Another Oksana!!! HELLO!!!

[@oksanajanson]

@@OksanaBelle heeeey giirl 🎉❤️😁

[@janepeterson1261]

I’m obsessed with O names. My daughter is Orla! But I did want to call her Ottilie… ☺️❤️

[@Nikadawn]

I recently heard of Otilia and loved it! Such a unique yet pretty name

[@rachelpercival615]

I also love Lavinia and Veronica as alternatives to Olivia 🥰🥰

[@stephthompson2280]

I welcomed Mavis Eleanor May 8th! Thank you for the babyname videos which helped me find something unique 💕

[@abigailwilson1601]

I think Ida would be a cute little sister to Ava and Asher! Short, sweet, easy to pronounce and vintage. It’s been on my list for years, let me live vicariously through you because my husband doesn’t like it at all :’)

[@PandoraStolen]

I got so excited to hear my name! In a baby name group on Facebook recently someone wanted to use the name Ophelia and people were telling her not to use it because of its tragic association. And I chimed in and said that growing up with a name that is linked to a somewhat tragic story is not as big as a problem is people try to make it out to be. It really didn't affect my life at all. And I like having a unique name that is connected to a history and a story even if it's not the happiest of stories.

[@mallorydunn2267]

Maeve would be super pretty with Ava and Asher!

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes love that one Mallory! x

[@chocolataly]

I just named my daughter Méabh (traditional Irish spelling)

[@TaraLyz]

My mom is fostering a dog she renamed Maeve!

[@DrNadiaIvanavSCP]

Maeve Ava is super pretty! Adding to my list!

[@greenlotuskid]

I loved Ophelia when I was pregnant. My partner of course hated it. He said the boys would say oh-feel-ya 🙄 bugger

[@amyj3692]

Oh-feel-ya isn't as bad one of my friends saying she couldn't choose ophelia because she was worried people would call her 'pedo' like pedophelia 💀🤣

[@SJ_Strum]

oh noooo!!! ha ha! I've never heard that before! xx

[@greenlotuskid]

@@amyj3692 oh gosh that is even worse 😭😂

[@kiannaroselomeli3090]

If you spell it the Spanish way, Ofelia it’s pronounced oh-fell-ee-ah much nicer

[@nicolefoster6642]

Olivia might be popular but is a beautiful name - hence why I used it for one of my twin girls!!

[@paulapoetry]

My favourite "O" names for girls are Olympia and Octavia. Ophelia is kind of an Amelia alternative, as well as an Olivia alternative, I would say. 😀❤

[@Ru-yi9lt]

I love love Octavia even though I always imagine Octavia Spencer with a pet Octopus 🌚

[@jessicakilby1678]

Octavia ❤

[@kallen4981]

Great idea for a list SJ! Definitely needed! My immediate alternative for Olivia is always, Viola (Vie-ola) because it has literally every letter of Olivia but is much less popular. It means “violet” (just like Violette). And it’s a Shakespeare name from the same play as Olivia (Twelfth Night) haha. I like it a lot more than Olivia personally. For Natalie: Ava, Asher and Wren (beautiful gender neutral name that is a small songbird but also means “tiny conqueror”. LOVE IT! Ava, Asher and Emy (super cute but beautiful short name that means “ambition” or “whole”. Love it with Ava. It’s also not super popular.) Ava, Asher and Tyson (very cool name meaning “high spirited” or “fiery” which can be shortened to Ty and is so cute as a sib-set. Asher and Tyson sound like the coolest brothers too.) Best of luck :)

[@OksanaBelle]

(After watching this video one too many times 😅) I just have to add that SJ has the amazing ability to change the background of each and every video and matching what she wears to compliment the background, always an aesthetically pleasing video to watch well done as always SJ xox

[@MLCrook]

Shiloh has been a secret favourite of mine for years! I know it’s going to get so popular at some point and just hoping it doesn’t happen 😂😂

[@SJ_Strum]

Ahhh it's an outsider choice still I think - so stunning! xx

[@sitracyto]

We named our angel baby Shiloh, meaning Peace

[@ImLikeSoOffendedYeah]

I love Shiloh too. After watching a film called Repo. I wonder if it will match my little baby boy Ollie/ Oliver.

[@melodylondon6736]

I looooove Oberon. How cute to be a faerie king. I love how it sounds strong but soft at the same time. I’ve had a crush on Titania forever, but there are so many -ia names that roll of the tongue more easily.

[@leighbrown9423]

Dilemma: Boy: Elliot Girl: Ellowen I think they both sound gorgeous with Ava and Asher

[@daniellegraham1838]

My step-daughter's name is Oceanna. So pretty and unique!

Felix William is a great name!!

[@ciarak97]

My great-great grandmother was called 'Honoria' (Hon a rah) and went by 'Nora'. Not so common here in Ireland anymore. When you mentioned 'Honour' it reminded me of the name.

[@torreyrae456]

For the Viewer Dilemma how about Finnley? It sounds nice with the others, got the e sounding ending which can be cute, good for a boy or a girl (although less common with girls) and is Irish meaning "fair haired courageous one". It's immediately what came to mind.

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah I love that Idea Torrey xxx

You know when you just see something so much you don't appreciate it :D Definitely see why it's so popular!!! OK now to watch the vid.... :D

[@Jessimika94]

This is the best name group of yours by far for me that I’ve seen. Olivia was always a favourite of mine but happened to have a boy first and before I could have my girl my cousin took the name for her little one. Also have always had a soft spot for Opal as it’s my birthstone - October, and also Pia as a name which could be nickname for Olympia. Hoping to have a 3rd bub someday but we will see. Ps just think Opal sounds good with Ava and Asher too.

[@shutupmegz]

ophelia is one of my fave names on my baby list it’s been on my baby list since i was like 12 and now it’s getting so popular 🥺

[@saratrimble5168]

Could you please do a video like this for Liam? It’s the top name in the US and we are struggling to find a name we like as much that isn’t as common. We also like Rowan for a boy if that helps!

[@abigailheinen]

Liam was at the top of my list top, but decided not to use is it. We went with Luca but Judah, Milo, Louis, Milad, Nathaniel (Nate), Theodore (Theo), and Otto were all ones we considered instead of Liam.

[@abigailheinen]

And Levi, I forgot Levi😊 it sounds the most similar to Liam.

Another great one is Octavia! It's so similar but a bit stronger I think and much more unique

[@Claire-bs6fi]

For the name dilemma I found a couple I thought may work! I really love the name Orla for them. It's Irish and means golden princess, so it would be for a girl. But I think that it fits in with the two syllable names with a strong a sound. Ava, Asher and Orla sounds so good I think. Another one is Fallon which means leader and is an Irish name that is also gender neutral. I thought it went well with the strong A sound but not too matchy.

[@dawnmarieandjeff]

I love Odette but it is a bit hard to put with certain last names. This may be another reason it isn't more popular.

[@wildnfearless9840]

I agree. My last name ends in Ette, so I can't use it.

[@Vicky_C87]

I'd love to see a German baby name list! There are some really lovely German names :)

[@oddmnemosyne2869]

For the baby naming dilemma, a few ideas for a sibling to Ava and Asher: Ingrid Lavender Runa Brigid/Bridget Greta Fiona Cait Linnea Una/Oona Clover Freya Orla Yvaine Moira And while I know they're not going for all A names, I gotta throw Anouk, Agnes, and Astrid out too. Blaine Roscoe Ferris Declan Gregor Nils Thurston Colm Laszlo Nigel Stellan Eames Otto Gustav And some A names worth mentioning are Axel/Axl, Ansel/Anselm, and Aalto This might be my favorite list of yours yet. I'm not sure what it is about the letter O but I love it! Odette was my absolute favorite name as a little girl! When I was 7 I had a baby doll with an adoption certificate and I named her Odette Clara (I was going through a hardcore ballet phase lol.) Odette is still on my shortlist for a real baby, as a first or a middle. Honora was also a name I played around with for a bit as a middle, which could be great for someone who still wants a little length and that -a ending but likes the virtue appeal of Honor/Honour. I have a little cousin name Shiloh! I've always loved Bronte, if it weren't so similar to my own name it'd be on my list. Violette/Violetta is so pretty, I really like the variation Violaine as well (and that one could lend itself to the nickname Lainey which I know is well loved.) Opal is another favorite of mine from childhood! It's my birthstone so of course I have a bit of a soft spot for it. It was also the name of our elderly neighbor when I was younger and she was an absolute delight. Some other O names I love that might appeal to fans of Olivia: Odilia Oceana Oona Olwen Oatha Oleana Ouida Orinthia Names containing a prominent O: Andromeda Anemone Antonia Bronwen Callisto Clarimond Clio Clover Corisande Cornelia Eponine Hannelore Leonora Liliosa Paloma Pomeline Ramona Scirocco Soleil Verona

[@Maiju86]

For the baby name dilemma I recommend mostly Scandinavian names: *For a girl* Ava, Asher & Elna (meaning "sun ray", comes from greek name Eleanor) Ava, Asher & Unna / Una (meaning "to love") Ava, Asher & Embla (meaning "elm", In Norse mythology, Embla is the equivalent of the Bible's Eve.) Ava, Asher & Edda (meaning "poetry") *For a boy* Ava, Asher & Emil (meaning "lively") Ava, Asher & Einar (meaning "one warrior; battle leader" or "one who fights alone") Ava, Asher & Ivo (meaning "yew wood, archer") Ava, Asher & Evert (meaning "brave, strong boar" or "shepherd")

[@cassylynn2276]

i was thinking for natalie a way to round out the names and still sort of match without being too matchy would to choose a name beginning with ‘r’ ava ends in ‘a’, asher begins with ‘a’ and ends in ‘r’. a few irish or scandi names that could work for either girl or boy that are easy to spell and say, classic but also a bit unique: rory riley rowan regan and i really like rafferty or roscoe for a little boy as well

[@alisonallen8658]

Orlan is my fav girls O name!

[@mariarozon2950]

My top name choice that also happens to be an O name is the name Ora. I think it sounds so beautiful and is rare, yet familiar.
