While some names do have Spanish equivalents, not all names do, nor is it a requirement that you translate your given name just because one exists in Spanish, or vice-versa.

As far as Olivia goes, my guess is it's exactly the same, just with a slightly different pronunciation. But I'm guessing, so don't quote me.

I think there not an equivalent in spanish. At least while I watched Popeye in spanish I always heard "Olivia". grin

I haven't watched Popeye in Spanish, but wasn't her name "Olive Oyl?." So that should be "Aceite de Oliva," no? jeje :) - JBlanco, Jan 31, 2013
