Leah, Eve/Eva/Ava, Naomi for a girl - As an aside, do you think about who they were in the bible? I was thinking of having Leah if this one is a girl, but wasn't she the least favourite wife of Jacob or something? I do like Salome, but I wouldn't have that because I thought she was a prostitute (My knowledge of the bible has been taken from my Childrens Bible- last read in about 1983)

Noah, Adam, Jacob, Jude, Reuben- for a boy.
