Re: Nicknames for Octavia? (and a few others?)
Nicknames I am tossing around now:
Tave - is VERY similar to the Dutch sound for the word for b*tch, so from me a definate: NO!
Tavy / Tavie -I think Tavie is kinda cute. Tavy looks too navy for me.
Davy / Davie - I'f prefer Tavie then.
Cate - too much of a stretch
Kit - nah...
Tock - doesn't that sound like what sportsmen wear to protect their... you know..
Tocky - no!
Ticky - sounds a lot like dicky, I don't like it
Cat / Caddy - Cat = an animal, so nms. Caddy helps a golfer, so no.
Teevie - you mean like: TV?!
Vivi - I'd prefer Vivia / Tavia
Viva, Vee - me neither :)
Vita - nah..
Otta - nms
Ottie - could grow on me...One I'm missing on your list is: Tia, or Avi / Avie / Avy (pron. like how I say Evie, AY-vee), or Otia? Ovia? Taia? can't think of anything else decent at the moment..I prefer Minnie over Mimi (by far), Bobby is way too much of a stretch for me. Caddy is nms, I don't see it as a nice nn for Cordelia either.

I generally prefer girls' nicknames to end in -ie, but lately I am all about y. It seems so complete and sweet! It does look a lot like Navy though.
Which is actually kind of cute!LOL all of the sexual things you mentioned. Octavia is so awkward like that. I turned down so many vulgar nicknames that came up when I was tossing around - Titty, Tee-tee, Viti (VD), Ovia (which I see you suggested, it sounds a lot like Ovary to me). Tavia sounds a lot like Labia except with a v, which is a very *feminine* letter and is therefore very gross to me.Teevie is like TV, but in TV the emphasis is more evenly distributed. Teevie is more like Stevie without the S.Tia and Avy (Avy is really cool looking!) are both really nice, but they seem like they are both trying to hard to make Octavia ~pretty.~ And it can be pretty but I prefer it honest.People don't seem to like Caddy! It grew on me pretty fast after reading The Sound And The Fury, where it's a nickname for Candace. I think it's very solid and sweet.
