Comments for the name Octavia

Octavia Butler is a famous science-fiction writer.

This name comes from octo, the Latin word for 8.

The means "eighth" and is the female version of Octavius.

Octavia Thurina Minor was the elder sister of Augustus (born Gaius Octavius). She was the wife of Marcus Antonius and maternal grandmother of Emperor Claudius.

It's quite a nice name, nicer then a lot of Ancient Roman names. The only real Ancient Roman name that everyone loves is Julia, but Octavia is a lovely name.

I used to be in love with this name. It is quite the pretty and unique name. It's a strong, beautiful, unique name. A name for a dynamic person.

My mother reversed the first two letters of this name and named me Cotavia, a modernized version, which has gotten me compliments my entire life.

I'm not sure I really ike this name or not. I think what really bothers me is the first syllable. "Oc" seems harsh, but "Tavia" (if you pronounce it 'tah-vee-ah' and not 'tay-vee-ah') is pretty. I suppose it's because one doesn't hear the "oc" beginning in most names. There's really no way to fix that though.

I have seen Tavia used as a nickname for this.

I really like this and I really like Tavia. I'm not sure if I would use it. Because it probably does sound pretty harsh to most people.

Octavia is the name of a car from the company Škoda.

American actors Kevin Sorbo & Sandra Jenkins have a daughter Octavia, born 16th October, 2005.

I don't really like the sound of this name. I guess it's the beginning that just sounds quite harsh. Plus, the name is quite old-fashioned.

My daughter has a good friend named Octavia. The name is very unique, and because of my association with her, suggests an energetic, intelligent and high-octane child. An excellent name all around.

A very important sounding name.

598 Octavia is the name of an asteroid or 'minor planet' orbiting the sun.

Octavia is also used in Spanish, where it's fairly common. It's quite a pretty name. [noted -ed]

A very dignified, beautiful, and unusual name. It would really suit a child born on August 8th (eighth day of the eighth month).

This name is really cool. :)

Octavia and its derivatives sound kinda like the name a music nerd a would give to their child. Which may not be a bad thing- just a thought.

Two things come to mind:
1. Vocal octaves.
2. The bratty kid I went to school with.

Octavia is a woman in Katniss Everdeen's personal styling team in Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games trilogy.

Octavia Spencer won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 2011's The Help.

A terrible name for a child if you know let her know the etymology of it, but as far as it _sounds_, I think it's a very attractive and noble-sounding name for a girl.
