原文: Olga Voronets was a leading Russian mezzo-soprano folk singer of the 1960s and 1970s. She was named a People's Artist of Russia in 1978.Voronets was born in 1926 in Smolensk. She attended the VGIK and the Sokolniki opera school. Having made her debut at the age of 21, Voronets gained a wider audience after the International Folk Song Festival in 1956. In the 1960s, Voronets rivalled Lyudmila Zykina in popularity.
原文: Personally Olga is not a name I really like, I think maybe because of media it sounds a bit ugly in English countries. But in countries in which it is more common and traditional, I bet people love it!
原文: Funny to see how different the name sounds for English-speakers. In Russian, it's pronounced with a soft "l": "Ol'ga", I'd say it feels a bit cold (like cold water) but otherwise very beautiful name. Specially the diminutive "Olya", it makes me think about a girl with big round eyes. I know few Olyas, all are quite cool.
原文: As someone who was born with this as a first name, let me tell you all I can about it.For one thing, yes, I did hate it most of my childhood. I was called "ogre" as a kid. Bottom line is yes, it doesn't sound like a very glamorous name. Yes, if you live in an area that lacks cultural diversity, kids aren't going to know what to think of your kid's weird Eastern European name and judge it harshly. But I grew out of it. In fact, until I read all these nasty comments about the name, I haven't felt conscious about it in years. Bottom line is whether or not you choose this name for your child, remember that kids are jerks by nature, and so are most adults, so don't worry about what other people think when you choose your child's name. Probably a good idea to stay away from it if you live in an area that lacks overall diversity and acceptance.One last thing: don't pronounce it wrong. The "l" is there for a reason, so don't say "oh-ga".
原文: I used to despise this name, but now I love it thanks to the beautiful Olga Nikolaevna Romanov (The First daughter of Tsar Nicholas II). Also, one of Tsar Nicholas II's sisters is named Olga Alexandrovna.

翻译文: 奥尔加祖巴里是一个着名的阿根廷演员，出现在许多经典的阿根廷电影。
原文: Olga Zubarry was a well-known actress from Argentina who appeared in many classic Argentine films.
原文: I always imagined that somebody named Olga would be from Eastern Europe, tall, buff, hardline communist, kinda fat, and very loud. I imagine them being all their fathers ever wanted in a daughter, even though they are gigantic and gross. I picture an Olga being rude and stronger than all my friends combined. However, I did meet somebody named Olga today, so my views might change later. She's weird and talks when it doesn't seem appropriate, but she's not all the other things I said above. Quite frankly, I'd like to get to know her better just because of her name.

原文: In some odd way I actually like this name... a lot. I don't think of anyone old or ugly when I hear it. I think of a pretty Slavic girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
原文: It's strange because it sometimes reminds me of a fair pretty woman, but then again it reminds me of an ugly old lady with warts all over her face and it sometimes reminds me of an ogre...

翻译文: 为什么人们把这个名字与丑陋联系起来？是因为词的相似性吗？
原文: Why do people associate this name with being ugly? Is because of the similarity in words?
原文: I feel awful for anyone who ends up with this name. It is very outdated and sounds very harsh. When I hear the name Olga I think of an old witch like lady. Also, I feel like if someone named their child this, the child would be bullied a lot!
原文: It's one of those names I can take or leave, though it certainly wouldn't be my first choice, if paired with the right name, it could be cute and modern. Although, for the current times, it may work best as a middle name, unless of course, the person goes by their middle name (I do).

翻译文: 俄罗斯的大公公爵奥尔加亚历山德罗夫娜是俄罗斯沙皇尼古拉二世的妹妹。
原文: Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia was the younger sister of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.
原文: I love this name and I'm glad that it's becoming a bit of a trendy name here in Sweden. It's a great name because it's easy to say, it's simple and a bit mysterious at the same time, and it feels like a strong name. I've only met two Olgas so far and they were both from Russia and both were very sweet. Oh and I also know a cat named Olga.
原文: A name worthy of a king's daughter – simple but intriguing, time-honoured but not old-fashioned. To me, it gives the image of an independent young woman, gentle and kind-hearted, but strong and brave at the same time.

翻译文: 这是商业和电视/电影女演员/流行youtuber奥尔加凯的名字。
原文: This is the name of Commercial and TV/Film actress/popular youtuber Olga Kay.
原文: I hate it. It gives the image of an overweight, dirty, medieval peasant who feasts off raw animal meat and believes chicken bones bring good luck. Pretty unpleasant image, isn't it?
原文: The "olg" part just isn't pleasing to me. Helga looks, sounds, is prettier and stronger. Both remind me vaguely of two of my favorite Hey Arnold characters.
原文: I don't understand all of this hatred towards Olga! I think it's a beautiful name, quite pleasant to say, uncommon and elegant, and it doesn't sound like word 'ugly' at all! I recommend this name highly. A kid named Olga won't be teased and it will suit her from childhood to adulthood.

原文: Olga was the eldest sister in Chekov's drama "Three Sisters". She was an over-tired school teacher and became headmistress at the end of the play.
原文: This name is very pretty, despite a lot of others' dislike of it. There aren't enough O names that are popular, so Olga would make a great choice if you wanted an O name and didn't want to use Olivia.
原文: This has been one of my favorite female names for quite awhile. The diminutives are also lovely, like Olya, Olyechka, Olyenka, and Olyeshenka. I don't get all of the hate for this name in the West. It makes me think of the beautiful Grand Duchess Olga, the oldest of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Aleksandra's four daughters. The name does sound softer when it's pronounced the native way.

原文: This name is so ugly that it even sounds like the word 'ugly'!
原文: It's a harsh-sounding name, and it makes me picture a very skinny, wrinkly-faced woman with hair dyed way too red and with too much eye make-up and heavily framed glasses. It sounds more like the name of a middle-aged woman than the name of someone young.
