Though greatly overshadowed by the trendy Olivia, Olive has a quiet, subtle appeal of its own -- if you just ignore the old image of Olive Oyl, Popeye's steady. Cool couple Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron (Borat) Cohen chose it for their daughter, reviving the name to stylishness, and now Drew Barrymore has a baby Olive too.

Olive is one of the earliest botanical names, and has positive associations to the olive branch as a symbol of peace and the ancient olive wreath that celebrated success.

Olive was the name of the adorable Abigail Breslin character in the popular movie Little Miss Sunshine.
