Olivia is a beautiful name. I once new a girl named Divine. She was a very nice.
A name I've heard recently that seems to be gaining popularity is Nevaeh. Pronounced Nuh-vay-uh. It's Heaven spelled backwards.

I like Olivia and dislike Divine. Olivia is not unique, it is popular. It was number 5 in 2005, and has been in the top 10 for five years. here is a link to the Social Security Adminstration Popular Baby Names site:
http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/
I'm really sorry, but Divine sounds like a stripper name. I'm not trying to be insulting, just honest.
I was also pregnant in my first year of college at 19. It was very difficult to tell my parents, they were disappointed but supportive. I ended up miscarrying at 13 weeks (very traumatic), and since then I have had 4 healthy kids and 3 additional miscarriages. I did have my first child between my junior/senior year of college. It wasn't easy. I did go on to graduate, with an Engineering degree.
As for unique names, I would pick something that will be a good name for an adult as well as a child. Olivia works for both a child and an adult, but isn't unique. But, it is much better than a made up mispelled name.

If you like the name Olivia Divine than go with that for a girls name it's always more fun to come up with a name on your own... I got pregnant when I was 17 and still in high school... My mom took the news ok and watched my daughter for me so I could get my High school diploma... But it was a different story when My b/f at the time told his parents... He just told them that we were expecting a baby... *honesty really does work* They flipped out and his mother tried to convince me that I needed an abortion... I ignored all her negative advice... I had a beautiful daughter and got my diploma... I couldn't be any happier with my own decision... Just remember that no matter how your parents take it you should be happy with yourself and that little bundle of joy you are carrying... Good Luck and Congratulations..

If your parents love you, they'll get over it. It'll be a shock at first for them but when the baby is born, they'll say that they'd never change things. As for names, there's far too many out there. What about Daisy or Lily Rose or Saoirse which is irish for FREEDOM

Seren (starlight in welsh) is my fav at the moment and is what i will probably call my baby if its a girl. Also u have some celtic namesfor a girl which are pretty, such as Albany, Avalon, Cerys, rhiannon, awen etc. Good luck on your pregnancy

Be honest with them, honesty is always the best policy. They may seem upset at first, but I am sure they will warm up to it fairly quickly.

Your parents are going to be overjoyed, especially if this is their first grandchild so don't worry, just tell them.
