What would this organic molecule be called?

I was thinking something with 1,2 Dimethylheptane, but a search yields no google results- any ideas?

3-methyl-2-phenyloctane
Thanks- one more question though. What if it didn't have the benzene molecule at the end, would it just be 2,3 dimethyloctane?

Without the benzene ring it would just be 3-methyloctane.

you have to look for the longest chain even if it is not drawn straight
