Octavius, thoughts?

[HunterIs]

Opinions on Octavius?

Eighth DC?

Or some other association with eight?

Sorry by my honest opinion is why? It's a terrible name. Poor kid.

No. Just no, sorry

I think it's better as a middle name, with first name "skoda"

Why? Because we like it... No need for the poor kid bit! We haven't named him yet

It sounds a bit pompous

My thoughts are you've got a great sense of humour

Awful, sorry

I don't like it, sorry. It's just a bit too much.

I don't like it.

Why not, but then I Chose Octavia for my younger daughter. So named as she was born on the 8th August (and we were completely stuck for a girls name). 21 years on, there are no regrets.

Having admitted my bias, what's wrong with it? It's very livable with compared to some of the naff and pretentious names punted on here by parents to be.

Awful
I guess Otto as a short version in passable but the whole shebang NO

PoshPenny, we thought the same! He was born on the 8th September

We also like Peregrine

Otto is lovely- nothing to do with 8, but being born in the 8/9 is a bit tenuous anyway.

Does your baby smoke a pipe? They're both rather elderly names

Dear Lord

Oh dear. No.

Egbert? Leonidas?

Now I know a Peregrine and that would put me off choosing that name, because I'd think of him every time . Whereas my Titch, well, she has a beautiful soul and I couldn't be more proud of her and what she's achieved. All those 8s are supposed to be lucky...

I understand, as my very favourite name is Septimus. There's no way I'd have seven children to get to use it though! ( I blame my love of Septimus on an early Rupert the Bear obsession).

Hector?
DH wanted Peregrine.

Doc Ock.

I like Octavius a lot.

But I wouldn't use it for one of my DC because it's just that little bit too unusual for me.

Unless you're the Royal families' superiors superior. It's just being something you're not,
