I'm pleasantly surprised to see
Octavia has experienced a rather dramatic upward momentum the last few years!
Octavia Spencer and, even moreso,
Octavia Butler are wonderful inspirations for names.
Agreed with a simple middle name -
Octavia Rose is nice. I do like
Octavia Estelle, but as an
Octavia Butler fan I think that's more the rationale than the name
Estelle itself.
Don't care for any nicknames, though. I think this is one that a bearer can bear proudly. Tay might work as a nickname, but what else do you have? Octy?
