Help[Opinions] Re: Liv.
in reply to a message by vigdis
The Olivias I meet all seem to be Liv or Livy at one point or another, so I do think a Liv would often be assumed to be an Olivia. I don't think that's a big deal, though.
I love short, strong names, so I like Liv. My big issue with it is that it has so few associations in the US other than Liv Tyler. It's a bit like Gwyneth, in that respect. Yeah, they are both pretty names with non-Hollywood histories, but they they always feel kinda celebrity inspired, at least to me. IMO, that actually keeps Liv from feeling like a hipster name. Still, Thomas and Liv would be cute for siblings.
Stellan is great. It reminds me so much of "stellar" that it feels very positive and upbeat.
