(XBOX)Xaevryn Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) I was hoping for the name "Aria" as it is an actual unaltered musical term that you very rarely hear, and it makes a beautiful feminine name. "Aria - A long, accompanied song for a solo voice." Besides. Octavia seems a little uninspired, imo. Edited March 13, 2017 by (XB1)Xaevryn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalMagic Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) I get why it's the "Bard Frame"; because it's abilities are musical. But I think people are trying to make it too much like Medieval Fantasy Setting RPG Bards, because that's what comes to their mind when you say "Bard". But this clearly isn't that kind of barding. It's not actually strumming an instrument, It's not singing; It's pumping out sequences from a portable tool. The thing "Bard-frame" does have in common with a traditional Bard is that she's infusing her power with sound, even if the way she makes the sound happen is vastly different. So no, I do not think traditional bard names would work, I don't think lesser-known god names would work, and i don't think anything related to vocals would work. (Unless there are sequenceable vocal samples, in which case... maybe?) Octavia does, because octaves. Even people who don't even have a general passing knowledge about music would know (or a least should know) to some degree that it is musical. This lets you relate the warframe to something else. As opposed to learning that this greek something-or-other exists and then relating that to the Warframe.

For me personally Octavia don't fits Bard Frame :/ Let me guess, is the name too feminine for you? Or is it bringing back memories from your My Little Pony days? Octavia is an amazing name. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)dursereg Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Octavia and octave have no relation at all. The 2 words don't even come from the same language. They look similar and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick google search gave this answer in response to the Roman Latin alphabet: "There were no lower case letters at first, and K, Y and Z used only for writing words of Greek origin. The letters J, U and W were added to the alphabet at a later stage to write languages other than Latin. J is a variant of I, U is a variant of V, and W was introduced as a 'double-v' to make a distinction between the sounds we know as 'v' and 'w' which was unnecessary in Latin." In other words, the letter v WAS present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oxford Latin Dictionary has almost 150 pages only for V, u being used for lower case, V for upper case. So sorry if I`m leaning more towards an official dictionary regarding this rather than towards you. Also, while studying during middle school we always used v in the words that asked for it, so again, i`ll lean more towards my teacher's knowledge.

ComfyOlivia Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I personally don't like "Octavia". Can't think about it without immediately also thinking about Roman names. I would have preferred something more musical sounding that doesn't also have major context in other large themes. I'll just call her bard frame.

(PSN)EVILFLUFFMONSTER Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 https://goo.gl/images/EYAq54 Octavia is the name of a rather boring looking car. Its all I could think of when I heard the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
