Re: Ottilie and Octavia
in reply to a message by Evangeline Rose
I'm not from England, but I hope you don't mind me answering your question with my thoughts on the two names.
I really dislike the name Ottilie, and really can't understand what other people see in it, but that might just be the way it sounds in my accent. I get the image in my head of an otter wearing lace whenever I hear or read it.
Octavia, however, is gorgeous. Strong and attractive. I am attracted to names that are feminine but frilly, and this seems to fit in nicely. I like the eight thing too, as eight is a very prominent number in my life, and makes me think of my mum. (:
