I love Octavia.

---

I love the sound of it, how it conjures up ancient Rome, how quirky and funky it is. Just everything about it.

---

I can't recall ever trying to combine it with anything. Sorry for any repeats:

Well. That's one ecclectic list. I went in so many different directions that I got dizzy. Hope you like one or two. Please let me know either way. Thanks.

It is nice but it reminds me of the Roman Empire (but only because I had to learn about it for the past year!).

Octavia Drusilla
Octavia Myra
Octavia Lucretia
Octavia Letitia

Octavia Florida

Octavia Euphemia

I actually knew an Octavia. She was a 6' tall African American woman who was a friend of my mother's. She was a very loud, opinionated person, so I associate the name with someone who exhibits those qualities. :)

---

ETA: I forgot, I knew another Octavia in middle school, only she went by Tavia. She was blonde, blue-eyed, and a little bossy. Another Octavia with a dominant personality!

like!

Octavia is a nifty name. I'd love to know an Octavia! A blogger I follow just had a baby last month named Octavia Anne (joining sisters Penelope, Henrietta and Millicent!).

---

A name like Octavia is lush and heavy, which is why I like it, but that means it needs a gentler middle.

I love Octavia. It's in my top ten for girls. Tavie is my favorite nickname for it.

These are the Octavia combos on my list: Octavia Clare, Octavia Laurel, Octavia Lenore, Octavia Lisbet, Octavia Louise, Octavia Pearl.

Octavia Judith
Octavia Frances
Octavia Rose
Octavia Laurel

Love love love. Classy, spunky, and Tavie is too cute for words. One of our kittens was Octavian nn Tavie, Tavian and occasionally Otto- love that for a boy.

Octavia Lucy

Octavia Sonnet (maybe a little too much, but it does have a nice ring to it)

Octavia Rose (totally filler, but with Octavia I think you can get away with it)
Octavia Opal (yay for some alliteration)
Octavia Grace (see Rose)
Octavia Ivy
Octavia Maisie
Octavia Genevieve
Octavia Catherine
Octavia Renee (I keep wanting to pair R names wiht it for some reason)

I know one!

---

I used to think it was kind of "meh," but it's grown on me. I can't think of any good combos or nicknames off the top of my head, though. :-(

I have always really like Octavia. Particularly with the nn Tavia. I think Octavia June would be a very pretty combo indeed.

I love it!

I love Octavia, it's beautiful and so underused.

---

I think Octavia would need something a little more soft sounding in the middle name spot since it is such a strong name.
