At first glance, I thought it was a boys name but i think it would be nice on both genders! Pretty cute!

I actually don't hate it, but think it would be neat on a boy as an alternate to Olivier. :)

I approve. It's growing on me.

I want to like it but it's stuck between something masculine and something feminine. I normally like names that challenge gender but this is in no-(wo)mans land for me. ;)

I think you misspelled Bolivian. Not a fan.

Olivia & Vivian are without a doubt, female names but mixed together...olivian comes across as masculine. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about the name itself. It is a bit pretentious but then cool at the same time.

Olivian both looks and sounds masculine to me. But if that was the idea, you did perfectly

I kind of like it, although it looks quite made up...
This one would definitely be masculine to me though!

I'm sort of the opposite. It doesn't look made up to me, perhaps because it reminds me so much of Oliver and names like Julian, Damian, and Adrian. I think it's a successful smoosh, in that respect. It feels very masculine to me, too.

So not a male version of Olivia? I was ready to proclaim, "No, use Olivier!" :)Sorry, I don't think this works. It's less about the Vivian and more about the just-adding-an-n-to-Olivia.

Sounds too much like "oblivion."I like smushes and am always looking for them, but this sort of thing often happens. :-(
