That's similar to my feelings about it Pandas.

I was keen on Constantine - lovely name - but yeah, same problem with potential reactions. Plus DH vetoed it, with comments similar to some of the negative ones Octavius has been getting on this thread.

I'd be a bit Confused if my dc dated an Octavius...
It reminds me of the viral clip of the 50 or so yr old man calling his Labrador to him, that was big last year. Can't remember the dogs name but Octavius would have worked well.

That was Fenton Confused. That clip still makes me laugh.

Yes me too
The real parents of Octavius wouldn't dream of asking.
