Octavia
Thoughts?
Pretty regal, elegant and cute. Definitely my cup of tea :)
It might get on my top 10 feminine names. However, I hope it makes a comeback in my country soon and stops being dated.

It's lovely. I prefer Ottavia, though.
One of my all-time favorites. I bet it'll get fashionable in the US soon, like all my other fricken favorites.
Octavia is a cool name. I personally prefer the Italian variant, Ottavia, but it would likely get confused with Octavia on a constant basis anyway
I have actually seen this name in real life a few times, and mainly on older teenagers / twenty-somethings (so, primarily Gen Z). Perhaps I should also add that all of these bearers were Black / African-American; and given the ages I doubt Octavia Spencer had a huge influence on popularity then (she wasn't hugely famous until The Help). So in the United Stated - my region, at least - Octavia seems to be used by Black families semi-regularly.

I like it
Don't like it at all
I love this name, another similar one I like is Odessa.
