Nameberry editors discuss Olive Cohen’s name
On Usmagazine.com, nameberry.com editors Pamela Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz blogged about Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen’s daughter Olive’s “classic but quirky” name.
The wrote: “Despite the enormous popularity of Olivia, currently No. 6 on the Social Security list of top girls’ names, few parents had turned to this logical alternative until the birth of Olive Cohen in 2007, when it suddenly reappeared on the list.”
They continued: “One of the first botanical names to be applied to people, it also fits into the trendy color name category. Another plus: the olive branch has been the symbol of peace since ancient times and an olive wreath celebrates honor and success. The name got rejuvenated via Abigail Breslin’s young character in the film Little Miss Sunshine in 2006 and there’s currently an Olive on Mad Men.”
