Octavia
Although Ophelia is growing on me very rapidly, Octavia still has a huge place in my heart. It's my top name for a future daughter and has been that way for quite a while. I first heard it on a TV programme that now - with season 4 looming - I am totally obsessed with. The character is badass and while Octavia itself is more syllables than I normally go for and could be seen as quite "frilly", I think it's got some hard sounds in there that pack a punch and make it fiery - which is what I look for in a girl's name.

Neither. Octavia is harsh and Ophelia is too dramatic and had a sad fate. I could never use it for that reason. For someone else definitely Ophelia. It is just softer, more beautiful and kind of close to Olivia. Octavia is so harsh and there aren't any good nicknames for it. Ophelia is soft and works on its own.

Ophelia I like more than I used to and the same is true with Octavia, I just prefer Octavia.
Octavia still reminds me of the word octave but I don't see that as a negative anymore. Ophelia still sometimes sounds like Oh feel yah which mostly doesn't bother me but still sometimes does bother me.
Plus Ophelia seems sad and weak, Octavia seems strong and passionate.

Ophelia. It's in my top five. I like Octavia as well (in theory anyway) but it has a harsh sound that Ophelia doesn't have. The flow of Ophelia is soft and pleasant to me. And it has a lot of vowels. I love vowels. :)
