Well, Mia Farrow is really Maria Farrow. I've always thought Mia was a good nn for Emilia and Artemisia, but that's just me.

BTW

Liv is a Scandinavian name in its own right. It means "life."

Livia is an ancient Roman girl's name. Nothing to do with Olivia at all.

Not that these couldn't be nns for Olivia too. it's just that they have independent origins.
