Ooh, I love both of them. I named one of Willow's brothers Octavian, and we called him Tavie and Tavian as a nickname. Have you ever heard a 3 yr old say Octavian? Cutest damned thing ever. Ok, not quite as cute as a 3 yr old saying Xanthe, but close ;) Octavia is neat too. Octavian's new owner was named Octavia, which was just the coolest coincidence- how often do you meet an Octavia?

I've also looked after little kids with both names, and both were pretty cpunky kids. Octavian had a sister called Aria. Octavia went by Tavia, and had a sister called Camara (rhymes with Tamara).

Octavian Demetrius flows better. They work well as brothers. I also like Leonidas as a brother to Octavian- that was what I called our other boy kitten.
