50 Baby Names That Sound Like ‘Olivia'
Fact checked by Sarah Scott
If your own name isn't Olivia, you probably know at least one (if not more). Currently the most popular baby girl name in the United States, the moniker also ranks among the top 10 in several countries around the world. And in addition, more and more parents are considering names that sound like Olivia.
Why? There are a lot of reasons. While Olivia—which is of Latin origin and means 'olive tree'—is a lovely choice for a little one, it is everywhere. Some parents may like the feel or sound of Olivia but want a name that's less commonly used. Another factor: Because Olivia is traditionally given to baby girls, parents who prefer a gender-neutral name may look elsewhere. Other parents might want a name that sounds like Olivia to honor a family member or match an older sibling.
Whatever the case, there are a ton of options for names that feel and sound like Olivia. Read on for 50 of our favorites.Although many baby names are often separated by gender, Parents believes that sex does not need to play a role in selecting names. It's important to choose a name you feel fits your child best.Meaning: Elf army, olive tree

Most popular baby names of 2024: No.1 boy name in GA keeps spot for 2nd year. See the list
On average, about 10,000 babies are born in America every day, according to data from the CDC. That equates to millions of people every year wondering "What should be the baby's name?" The Social Security Administration releases annual lists of the 1,000 most popular names in each state and across the U.S. Is your baby's name trendy or a trend setter? Liam Noah James William Oliver Charlotte Olivia Amelia Emma Ava Liam was the top boy name in 2023 and 2020 and has been among the top 5 since 2018. Noah and William have been among the top 3 since 2015. One name that's jumped in and out of the top 5 over the last decade or so is Elijah. Charlotte has been slowly growing in popularity, claiming the No. 2 spot in 2023 and having been in the top 5 since 2019. Olivia was the longtime queen, sitting at the tippy top from 2021 to 2023. One name that's jumped in and out of the top 5 over the last decade or so is Isabella. According to the Bump, Liam is an Irish name meaning "strong-willed warrior." It's a diminutive of the British name William, meaning "helmet of will" or "protection." The Bump says Charlotte has French and Roman origins, standing as a feminine variation of Charles which means "free man." Historically, it has been a name evoking nobility and the freedom of creative expression. Liam Noah Oliver Theodore James Olivia Emma Amelia Charlotte Mia Liam is not only Georgia's most popular boy name, it has been the most popular name in America since 2017.

46 People Who Were So, So Wrong
This may come as a shock to some, but Mario's Italian. Also, Chinese and Japanese are not the same thing. person forget about the American Revolution? This person forgot other countries exist. How can anyone be this dumb? no. Oof. Do people really think Jesus wrote the Bible? Pretty sure you learn dolphins are mammals in primary school. In case you didn't know, thermodynamics is a branch of physics. The '90s: famously, a time when race-related issues and discussion didn't exist. I'm no Christian, but isn't that one of the most famous parts of the Bible? I think we've failed our children. This person probably should've looked up "cisgender." Sorry to include one from lockdown times, but that time brought out the WILDEST anti-vax rhetoric. Where did this person even learn this??? This parent was really, REALLY wrong about what the slang "salty" means, and should probably get their mind out of the gutter. This parent was also wrong in so many ways. I hope the person who sat down and typed, "it's not like there's a place called Spania full of Spanish *people*" was trolling. You gotta love when someone is so swiftly and completely proven wrong. This person thought Mount Everest was in South Dakota. This person might want to open a dictionary. Along with this person. This person got a little confused about flags. This person was reallyyyyy wrong about what a hamburger was. This person thought eggs were dairy. In case you didn't know..."reed" is not the past tense of "read." Neither is "red." What school did this person go to??? Maybe leave scientific terms to scientists and doctors if you have absolutely no idea what they mean. The person who sent this article may go down in history as one of the "most wrong people ever." This person forgot about other languages. This person needs to take a geography class. Same with this person. Aaaand this person. I don't think this person has ever had a sex ed lesson in their life. Neither has this person. *Ben Wyatt voice* I don't even have time to explain how wrong you are. Actually, it's gonna bug me if I don't... These people were both wrong. The second person here really wanted to look smart, but ended up being dead wrong. ...Yeah, that's not right, bud. Oof. This person was real confused about compasses and directions. This person thought rubber trees were fake trees made of rubber. This person was also have a little trouble with math. This person thought ducks aren't birds. This person thought plants don't produce oxygen. This person made a really head-scratching statement. And finally, this person seemed to think Tesla was founded by Nikola Tesla himself.

Commentary A friend of mine is German Canadian. He was born in Germany, came to Canada at the age of 5, and speaks German fluently today. My own story is similar: I was born in the Netherlands, came to Canada at the age of 7, and speak Dutch fluently.
