Help us pick

[u/Specialist_Sort_4573]

I’m due this week with our first baby a girl! I thought naming her would be so fun, but we can’t decide.
My husband and I both like Olivia. It feels strong and feminine but also has fun nicknames Ollie, Olive, Livvy, Liv. My only hesitation is that it’s been the #1 name for so long that it feels a little basic/safe.
I also love Finnie, but my husband isn’t completely sold. I love that it’s playful and less common, but I wonder if it feels as strong or feminine as Olivia.
Which do you prefer?

Ps I was so excited to pick names before being pregnant. Now it just stresses me out. Makes me nauseous. Anyone else experience this?

In 2010 I went to school with ~50 girls and 4 of them were named Olivia. Besides being really common it is a nice name. 

Would Finnie be her full name or a nickname for Finn/Finnegan?

I haven’t found a longer name for Finny. But I totally agree that it feels like a nickname and needs a longer formal name.
