Are we seeing some lies here? design council just gives their opinion and DE has the final say, it's not really much different from any random Tenno walking into the office and plopping a list of names on their desk for consideration. besides, other frames have fairly predictable/boring names too: - Ember: the scalding remains of something that was once on fire. - Volt: a measure of Electricity. - Frost: an extremely thin layer of snow or ice. you know straight away what their elements are. Saryn is an exception because not everyone's heard of Sarin, the poisonous gas. it's not just the elemental frames either: - Mirage: kind of obvious for a frame based around light and illusions. - Rhino; he's big and he can charge you, can you think of a better name? Octavia is not the first frame to get an obvious name, and likely won't be the last. people need to calm down over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frames shouldn't have human names and to be honest they could have named it after some old composer if they wanted it to be a real name (Like with Vauban) But they took a common first name and used it for a warframe, this iis why Design council shouldn't be allowed to touch anything.

Mesa sounds masculine, so does Mag. The same reason we don't call Saryn Serena. Not every female name needs to add an "a" at the end like it's been conjugated.

We already have frames that uses real humans name tho like Ember, Atlas, Loki, and Ash Loki is named after a norse god, Atllas after a greek Titan, Wukong and Nezha after legends, Vauban after a french engineer and none of these names exist in the vernacular. Ember is definately not a common name, and ash is a coincidence the word "ash" has a definite meaning with or without peoople naming theiir sons after it. "octavia" is only a name derived from "octave." in it's own meaning "octavia" is not a word in it's own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bu that's letting them be inconsistent. and I have a hard time believingthat dDE just looked at all design council and reviewed each suggestion, it was probably a vote of popular options like Ivara was.

--RV--Meta Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Well personally I would've preferred they chose "Lyra" because "Lyre" because that's what Bards use... But I suppose I'll default to the correct way to address any Bard, as dictated by the honorable master mage Tellah. So there you have it...her name is "Spoony."

Deshiel Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 9 hours ago, Zanoza-chan said: Octave is one of the basic units of measurement in musical theory. It means a distance of 8 notes (or 12 chromatic notes) and it's also a distance between same notes (becuz there's 7 repeating notes, you know). The name looks quite suitable. I knew what an octave is long before you wrote this and I still wouldn't have picked it. Gross. Too bad Noisia is trademarked by Noisia haha.

Octavia = female version of Octave (which has to do with music and it sounds cool). Name is fine. I've already accepted it and moved on. Actually the name Octave (for people) has to do with being the 8th child, as is Octavia, the Octave relating to music notes does not have a female version...

But whatever I guess... The intent of the names meaning is obvious. A female name version of the music related word octave. So it is a made up word for the context it is being used for... so? Warframe is all made up fantasy. That's why I really don't see a big deal here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Oussii Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So Octavia? I guess it's a Piano or a keyboard frame, as Octave is used in General for those 2 instruments although it is in fact for all. How many octave this Octavia has? Would it be a BABY? since Octavia is a Latin baby name, or would it have 8 powers? (4x2) since the name means 8 in Roman era? Would we see Octavian? since Octavia was his sister? Will its power be a combination of classical and musical overtones same as during the ancient roman empire era? Too many questions? No doubt. that frame and the name will open a whole new chapter in warframe PS: i am glad that i know how to play piano :XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
