I absolutely love Octavia. Quentin is okay, but not a favourite for me.

Octavia is my top name for a girl and has been for a while now.

I forget it's highly associated with the number 8 because that's not how I came about it. I heard Octavia on a TV show but now I hear it everywhere - I hope it doesn't become too popular!

I kind of like Quentin also. Quinn has been on my list for years, I've liked it since reading it in a book as a young teenager but recently I added Quinten - I prefer this to Quentin.

I love Octavia. It's elegant, dynamic, and has a royalty feel but is still totally usable. I strongly prefer Quinton to Quentin, because somehow Quentin feels super pretentious to me but Quinton seems gentle and kindly.

I never know from one day to the next if I prefer Quentin or Quinton. But I like both!

Octavia is nice, but I find the thought of (a) having enough children to make Octavia accurate or (b) running out of names before reaching about 60 for each gender is pretty daunting.

What do you think of Una? In theory I like it, but I can never quite commit.

I really like Octavia, strong, powerful, and beautiful. I'm warming to Quentin (because of a character), it's a little nerdy and I like that. I think they make a brilliant sibset. They have a similar ancient feel.
