Etymology's list "Love Olivia" of 2 great name ideas: Olivette - Yvette!

Love Olivia

Love the name Olivia but dissuaded by its popularity, here are some alternatives to consider

A feminine form of Oliver and a diminutive of Olive, Olivette could make an interesting choice for those who love Colette and Violette, but also Olivia. It was used in the 19th century French opera Les noces d'Olivette and ranked in the Top 500 in France in the early half of the 20th century.

Olivette

This French name has the elegance of other '-ette' names like Colette and Odette, and is a botanical name without being too obvious about it. Related to the sleek French name Yves, it was popular in the US in the 60s, peaking at #125 in 1967, while in its native France it was a Top 10 name back in the 1930s.
 
Ultimately derived from the Germanic element iwa meaning "yew tree", Yvette can be pronounced as EE-VEHT in French and as ee-VEHT or ih-VEHT in English. Out of style in France since the 70s and the US since the early 2000s, could Yvette be one to reconsider with Sylvie and Odette on the rise?
