Which do you prefer and why? Sibling for Rafferty.

… you know it was a name before a car right?

In the early 2000s we had a computer system demo done by someone who mentioned his daughter was called Fabia. I thought it was a beautiful name, but by the time I had a baby it was the name of a car and not common enough as a girls name to feel like everyone wouldn’t snigger. Octavia is more mainstream, but we knew an Octavia and her parents named her that because she was the 8th grandchild on her mother’s side. It was suck up to a famous grandfather (sort of). They also called her Tavi which wasn’t a great shortening.

Ooh Rafferty and Ophelia 🥰

Not Etta, it's nice as a nn but doesn't stand up to Rafferty.
Olive is just bleurgh.

All of those are so popular at the moment so expect for the choice to not be too unique !!

Agree with poster above. These names are so pretentious. You must be from SW London!
