Sibling for Maia

[Leonarda89]

Currently pregnant with baby number 2, don't know the sex yet. Have a DD already called Maia. I love her name as I think it sounds pretty, is not hugely popular but not out there either, and it has various spellings/meanings/origins all of which have some meaning to us (e.g. Maya/Maia can be related to water/magic/mother earth/spring/mythology and has European/indian/central American origins).

I would like a name which ticks those boxes for baby number 2 as well but struggling particularly with boys names.

So far we like:

Aria
Nina
Lara

Sam
Oscar
Kai

Any other ideas?

I like Maia and Zach
