Actually, I picked the name last summer before I started Rae the Doe or even had any sort of interest in deer in particular. I do love Olive the Other Reindeer, though. That’s my favorite Christmas movie. It’s funny that I happened to pick a name that is somewhat tied to deer, completely by coincidence.
Here’s why I named myself Olive:
I had a short list of names that I liked and Olive was on it. I didn’t really put it on that list for any particular reason. It was just a list of names that I happened to like.
I couldn’t decide between any of those names so I started looking up name meanings. I wanted a name that meant “peace”, and lo and behold- Olive meant peace!
So Olive, at this point, was two for two. Then I realized that I have olive colored eyes and I decided that Olive was just the perfect name for me. It was three for three!!
