I like it, but much prefer Octavian. I don't think either of them's too much - long and honourable history, and they can always go for Tay or Tavi (or Tavian if applicable) if they decide that the full four syllables are too much.

I love Octavius, though oddly enough I'm not wild about Octavia. I think it's because Octavious reminds me of an uber muscular commander of a Roman army. Though I wouldn't consider it too Roman at all. It's simply unique, but isn't unheard of in the least. I couldn't even describe how thrilled I'd be if I met a child named Octavious. I think I'd seriously ask the parents if they were members of BtN. After a brief episode of jumping up and down and squealing, that is.

I really like Octavius. I fell in love with Octavia but one of my exes didn't like it but liked Octavian and Octavius. I completely forgot about these names since the break up. Thanks for reminding me.

And I wanted to use Octavius as a middle name, but it would work as a first name in my opinion. I like unpopular but heard of names.

A bit too Roman-ish to me but keep in mind I study Classical Studies and have spent my afternoon revising Augustus' (Octavian / Octavius) rule. However, I do adore August...

I adore Octavia though. Beautiful.

I don't really like it. It is very Roman-ish. I think it would be better as a middle name.

its a bit much, really. i think greek/roman works better on girls than boys. it would be GP for me. you could possibly use it as a mn.

I like Octavia, but somehow I feel like Octavius is too much. Maybe as a middle name, but it's a little too Roman for a first name, I think.
