Ottavio is really neat. It's one of those very Italian names that I love, but would feel silly using myself since neither DH nor I are Italian.

I like Carolina (your pronunciation) but I always read it like the state. It would take some getting used to.

I personally don't care for Ottavio but I don't mind Carolina, only as long as it's pronounced the way you mentioned and not like the state! *laughs*

I like Octavio / Octavian, and the Ott* in Ottavio makes it seem a bit subtler/softer. Also, it reminds me of Otto.

I've heard Carolina pronounced that way, but I'm more used to the English pronunciation, which I strongly associate with the American states. I slightly prefer it (with the Italian pronunciation) to Carol and Caroline, neither of which I like much, but I don't dislike them either.

I'll rate them...
Carolina 6/10
Ottavio 7/10
