Sounds beautiful, looks odd...

Anne Olivia is much better. Even better than that, Olivia Anne. Annolivia looks terrible.

Anne-Olivia is tons better imoAnnolivia reminds me of Palmolive detergent for some reason.

Yikes...really bad. Anne Olivia or Ann Olivia would be much nicer (though Anna Olivia is my preference).

It's not horrible, as I like both Ann and Olivia, but it's too much of a made-up-combo name for me. Maybe Ann Olivia, fn and mn, called both or Ann-Olivia. But all smooshed together gives me bad visions of a possible Analivia or Annalyvia. *shudders*

I refuse to accept that Ann, which is very rare these days (outside the top 500, in fact), is a "plain old name" while the extremely trendy Olivia is "classy." I'd be much more excited to see a baby Ann than a baby Olivia.Annolivia is hardly brilliant or fascinating to me. Name smushes are nothing new, and personally I find nearly all of them quite unattractive.

This reminds me ofSophelia, which I put forth to my DH as an alternative when we were arguing about what to name our third child. I wanted Sophia Seraphina, he wanted Sophia Ophelia. I suggested Sophelia Seraphina, in which Sophelia blended Sophia and Ophelia, to try to fit both in, but he didn't go for it. In the end we used all three, and named her Sophia Ophelia Seraphina.For a time, I was a tad impressed with myself for this suggestion, but I'm pretty much over it. I'm afraid Annolivia doesn't quite rev me up, sorry. But I understand how it could fascinate you.

Brilliant?Eh, to each his or her own, I suppose. Brilliant is something intelligent and inventive to me. This is neither.Ann Olivia as a double first name, or even Ann-Olivia (despite my dislike of hyphens), would be fine, but together it just looks ugly. I also prefer the spelling Anne anyway.

Holy Run-on Sentence, Batman!Like I said, to each his or her own. You put it on an opinions board, so I gave my opinion -- it looks ugly. It isn't inherently ugly. Not really sure why you had to add here that people prefer different things. Um, that's the reason this message board exists, isn't it?

When i look at it the -Anno- bit puts me off it for some reason. It looks a little better like Ann-Olivia but I don't like it
