Olivia

The first known use of the name Olivia is in Shakespeare's Twefth Night. It was later used by Oliver Goldsmith in The Vicar of Wakefield in 1766, and again in 1768 in The Good-Natured Man. It was probably Goldsmith's use of the name Olivia that made it popular in the 18th century. It was given a much later boost by actress Olivia de Havilland, and still later, by pop singer Olivia Newton-John. Olivia is enjoying a revival in the U.S., and has been a top 10 name since 2001. It may be becoming too common for this generation of babies, so unless you really can't choose another name for your new daughter, I'd recommend against it.
