Either of those are nice on their own, but the two vowels in the middle make an awkward break - say it out loud: Olivia----Eileen. You have to stop in between the two names. If a name ends in a vowel, a good rule of thumb is to start the middle name with a consonant. Eileen Olivia flows much better.
Good luck!

Olivia is an extremely trendy name now. I have no opinion on Eileen. I would not choose either of these names.

I like Olivia, but it doesn't flow well with Eileen. The "uh" and "eye" kind of muddle together. You should choose a middle name that begins with a consonant - a "hard" sound.
Olivia Kathleen
Olivia Violet
Olivia Caroline

Olivia is great ~ can't love Eileen though. I hear that 80s song "come on Eileen" and the cruel jokes the boys used to make.

Oliva is pretty popular, but it's a nice name. I like Olive Irene Patterson. It's similar to Oliva Eileen.

I think it's beautiful! I love that you're combining one of the "old-fashioned" names that have regained popularity with a classic Irish name that I used to hear more in the 70's. I love the name combo!

I think that is beautiful. I'm not one for the fancy, madeup names that have funky spelling. I'm glad there are some people out there that like the simple yet beautiful old fashioned names!
