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

Cosima makes me think of magicians.

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

Cosima doesn't sound like a name.

So octavia.

brushlaptop · 18/08/2021 22:27

@Galaxygirl93 don't know either of those things!

Kinda like the magician thing ;)

Love Octavia

Octavia definitely Smile

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

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.

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

DramaAlpaca · 18/08/2021 22:47

Cosima, for definite.

RickOShay · 18/08/2021 23:01

Octavia

Sarahvn · 18/08/2021 23:02

Both lovely names
But Octavia has my vote

Poor little mite!

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

Darkchocolateandcoffee · 18/08/2021 23:05

Cosima is a bit too cutesy. Octavia better.

Bimblybomeyelash · 18/08/2021 23:08

Octavia. I guess Tavi for a nn?

What about:
Saskia
Claudia

toastofthetown · 18/08/2021 23:20

I prefer Cosima. It flows better for me.

Dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby · 18/08/2021 23:25

Skoda Octavia?

Octavia. As a PP said I struggle with the pronunciation of Cosima.

PricklesTheHedgehog · 19/08/2021 00:28

Cosima

Buttercup54321 · 19/08/2021 00:34

Ooctavia
Cosima sounds like a swimming costume

Octavia. We called one of our kittens Octavia. Often called Tayvie for short.
