Imogen or Octavia

[2und3r2]

36 weeks now and still completely torn over our 2 girls names so would love some feedbackto help us decide.

For a long time we’ve been set on Imogen but recently my husband’s become increasingly keen on the name Octavia - which he’s always liked but thinks especially fitting for an August baby. I like it too but worried it sounds a bit pretentious - what do others think? Only concern with Imogen is has it become too popular? Any thoughts much appreciated plus opinions on which of the 2 you prefer? Thanks x

I've recently met a little Odessa. It's a really lovely name imo.

I like Octavia but definitely prefer Imogen.

I cant really hear Octavia without thinking 'Skoda' tbh.

Oh, yes there is that...

Pandora, OP?

I would never think Octavia and Skoda. I've had to google it to find out the link!

I love them both, but Imogen is too popular for me to use now (and I think my DB might use it) Octavia definitely on my list.

It was a name long before it was a car. I would never think of the car first. See also Mercedes, the company was named after the founder’s daughter. Lots of names are also the names of other things.

Thanks ladies - good to see support for both of the names - think will just wait till I meet little one & see what she looks like.
