Olavie
This name (?) spontaneously popped up in my head for some reason a couple of minutes ago. After googling it I found it on a singer and a wine therapy skincare brand, but it doesn't really seem to be used -- as a name. What do you think?

Not usable as far as I'm concerned, indeed looks like a brand rathe than a person's name.

It looks like GM cooking oil, aiming for the more discerning customer. Not olive exactly, but a bit olavie!The founder of the Scouting movement had a wife named Olave, which looks like what it probably is - a fem form of Olav. I've no clue how she pronounced it and that is probably why it never caught on.

The cooking oil remark was spot on, combined with what Bear said about "oh la vie" it makes the perfect marketing product...

Well, it's better than Olive. But not as pretty as Olivia. Not enough better than Olive to make me really like it, though.

Olavi is a Finnish form of Olof, so to me it sounds masculine. Not hideous, but not a favorite either.

It's like a French feminized form of Olav lol I think it's kinda cute.

I like this interpretation of the name. Thinking about it, I'm almost liking Olaphe, haha.

This pizza is too "olive-y" is what I'm hearing. It looks nice, but I'm not loving the sound. Sorry.

"Oh! La vie!" and "C'est la vie" came into my head. Sorry, I'm not a fan. :0/I do, however like names like Olivette.
