[Opinions] Octavia, Jaswinder, Verena, and Camilla?
Four names that have been on my mind lately. Just wondering what you guys thought of them.
Would you be refreshed to meet them?
Are they usable?

I don't mind Octavia and I like Camilla but prefer Camille better.
Octavia- Love it! Reminds me of music with the "octave" bit in there.
Jaswinder- Instantly made me think of East India, so if I met a little caucasion girl with it, I might think it was a little different. That doesn't make it unusable by any means, though. It really is pretty.
Verena- Don't care for it much.
Camilla- nms. Has always reminded me of camels, but it's perfectly fine for someone else's child.

I *love* Octavia and Camilla. They're beautiful names and I would definitely find them refreshing on a girl/woman.
I also really like Verena. And I know one - my mother has a cousin with this name.
I think the above are definitely usable.
Jaswinder has a very cool meaning, but I don't like the name itself.

Octavia - I really like this name. It has a very interesting a historic feel to it and I love that.
Jaswinder - I would be intrigued by this name seeing as though I have never heard of it. Can't say that I particularly like it though.
Verena - This is such a pretty name and another that I haven't heard of. It will be added to my personal name list. Very nice.
Camilla - This isn't so interesting nor refreshing to me.

Ooh, I love Octavia! It would be so refreshing to meet an Octavia rather than all the little Olivias running around! I would seriously consider using it myself.
I quite like Verena, though I would probably never use it as a first name.
I'm not so keen on Camilla. The first thing that always comes to mind when I hear it is Prince Charles' wife, but it would be quite pretty on a little girl.
Jaswinder is a little too odd (even for me!). I think it is completely usable on a child from that ethnicity though.

I love Octavia. Absolutely love it.
Jaswinder strikes me as being make up, though I know it isn't. I don't think many people would realize it is a legit name.
Verena is okay, not my style however. I think this would make a better middle name, rather than a first name.
Camilla is the least favorite of mine. It just strikes me as snobby, but that's due to bad associations.
I think they're usable, but perhaps Jaswinder would serve best in the middle name position? Even Verena would be an okay first name, I suppose. To meet people named this would be refreshing, especially here, since I'm sure we have the highest Brittany/other variations population in the tri-state area. :P

Octavia reminds me of octopus, so I don't see the attraction. I see it a lot on these boards though, so I wonder if it's going to become popular.
Jaswinder looks totally madeup. I'd be sad if I saw it. Looks very masculine too.
Verena is stunning! I'd love to see it!
Camilla is nice, I'm neutral. NMS
