My husband's mother is half Polish, and we considered using a Polish name ever since Noah, our oldest, was born, but we never found the right one until we came across Janusz. Personally I LOVE Polish names and spellings, but it's pretty hard to find a name that doesn't sound too strange and won't be mispronounced or spelled the wrong way the entire time. So I think Oliwia is pretty too, but we never seriously considered it, because it would be too complicated for most people. We notice it with Janusz too, we often have to spell his name or say it a few times before people understand. I don't regret naming him Janusz, but we didn't want that again.
