Interested to hear what people think of the name Octavia for a girl please?
Baby is due in August and we also got married in August so the eighth has significance for us, I'm really warming towards it.
I know it is a Skoda 😂 but that doesn't bother me too much!

I have always loved the name, i believe it was the name of a book i read when i was much younger. However my dd is glad my dh wouldn't hear of her being named it 🥴
