I had a doll as a child, for whom I couldn't find a name. One of my earliest memories is being bought this doll, and my mother suggesting naming her
Octavia. I wasn't sold on it then, but couldn't think of a better name and always kind of love the decisions my parents make with thought and care. Since growing up, I've decided I love the name
Octavia. It's regal, rare and rather pretty. It's exotic. It's not -too- pretentious.
I have a few questions:
a) Is this a bad heritage for a child's name, or personal?
b) Does it matter if it is not an eighth child, nowadays?
c) Is it prentious? Or other negative things?
d) What middle names or sibsets go well? I like
Octavia and
Violet as sisters,
Octavia Rose, but they're both a bit insipid.
Just some quick questions ;)
