Just a quickie

Octavia, Iris or Jemima.

Iris

Iris

Jemima

Iris

Octavia.

Iris

Iris

Iris or octavia - dont like jemima

Jemima

Iris - lovely
Jemima - very nice, grows on me the more I think about it
Octavia - hideous

Iris for sure.

Can't stand Jemima - it's the doll from playschool.

Octavia is a bit OTT.

Iris is just lovely!

Iris.

Jemima -- love

Iris/Octavia -- don't really like either

Jemima

I love Jemima. It is beautiful and has potential for lovely nns. Gem, Mimi! Mimey. Iris is rather dull in my opinion and reminds me of eyeballs. Octavian makes me think of 8, so if there were some conection to 8 it would fit.

Octavia doesn't trip off the tongue, and what would you shorten it to?

Jemima is a bit ditsy but Iris is lovely

Jemima definitely. I wanted that after Jemima Puddle Duck - I'm a huge Beatrix Potter fan but OH said a definite NO!!

Iris (mn Martha or Elizabeth) and Octavia (mn Louise) were high on my list and Jemima would have been too if it was not odd in France.
They are very different though: Iris is "punchy" and Octavia is more feminine.

Between the two I would have chosen Iris because Octavia is a bit of a chavvy name in the US.

Sorry, I am not being helpful here :o (and DD ended up with a different name...)

Jemima

jemima

Iris or Jemima

Jemima is stunning

Octavia's lovely and does not need shortening.

Jemima

Jemima's HORRIBLE, what's wrong with you all?? It's a Puddleduck or a boring doll! Who'd be either of them?

Totally Marmite name (just with a very small "hate" contingent apparently )
