Cosima is a bit too cutesy. Octavia better.

Octavia always makes me think of Marc Anthony's wife who he left for Cleopatra.
Cosima is delightful.

Poor little mite!

Both lovely names
But Octavia has my vote

Octavia

Cosima, for definite.

I like Octavia, but it does always make me think of the car.

Octavia - I love it. It’s a pleasure to say, and hear. Elegant, beautiful. I find Cosima a bit tricky to say. I think I never quite know if I should say Coz-ima or Coss-ima. I don’t much like the sound of either really. Not as sophisticated sounding as Octavia.

Octavia is beautiful. Makes me think of a warrior. Personally I'm not a fan of Cosima.

Octavia definitely Smile

Kinda like the magician thing ;)

Cosima doesn't sound like a name.

So octavia.

Are you a fan of The 100 and Orphan Black by any chance? :-)

I knew a lovely Octavia at university (unbelievably posh, was a deb, played polo etc)

Cosima makes me think of magicians.
