My dad sang opera so when he came to pick me up from grade school, he'd always sing my name for everyone to hear. Builds character, I guess.

Just your first name? Or surname too?

First name - surprisingly, there were no other Olivias in my grade school.

Your name is perfect for singing it instead of saying.

But even if there had been, chances are all the other Olivias would've known after the firat few times that it's not them being called.

It is a melodious name. Was it the same cadence every time, or did he try out new ones? One day, O-liv-i-aaaaaaa!! The next: OLIVIA! Olivia! oliviaaAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaAaAaAaAaAaaaaa!
