Octavian

Good name for an octopus.

This name makes me think of the Animal Crossing villager. It sounds nice, but it reminds me of octopi, especially because of the character.

Sounds like a good name for an octopus.

This name has that ring to it that commands respect. Great for firstborn children, even though it's traditionally given to the eighth born in a family. "Tavi" or "Tav" would be good nicknames for a name as strong as this one.

As pretentious as it gets.

I adore the name Octavian. Makes me think of a boy who is intelligent and sincere. The historical ties make it so the name demands respect, and has an allure of power to it.

I like this name. Octavian sounds intelligent and commanding, and would be a perfect middle name. Even if the "octopus" association arises, well, I like octopi better than most animals anyhow.

I LOVE the name Octavian. I heard it in History class one day and fell in love with it. I want to name my second son this. I love it mostly because it's unique. You don't hear it anymore.

Tavian makes a good nickname for Octavian. Or Tavian just alone.

Octavion was an amazing military strategist, but because of the suffix "Oct"- which I imagine small children would immediately associate with an octopus, I would be hesitant to name a child this.
