Brother or sister for Nova

[OnNaturesCourse]

Just that... 3rd trimester and have absolutely no idea or list so far.

Love names that are unlikely to be shortened, and slightly unusual.

@OnNaturesCourse have you liked any of the names suggested? Nigella's kids are Bruno and Cosima - those could suit.

Orion
Leon
Jesper
Jasper (too common)
Oscar
Felix
Marcus
Milo
Ludo
Luca

Mara
Dana
Alba
Ariadne
Thea (maybe too common)
Kitty
Mira
Minka
Inka
Kira
Selena
Celeste
Celine
Zara
Lena

Nova and Aldo
Nova and Estel

We have a few on our list now but still not one we both agree on.

Luca
Arlo
Aca
Rio
Theo
Are a selection of the boys

Vayda
Mara
Rhea
Quinn
Are the girls.

The ones we most agree on but are 100% with are Aca (DH loves it but I'm not sure on spelling and/or different pronunciations) and Quinn.

Luna for a girl.

Is Aca pronounced Ayka?

See, this is my problem.

Its pronounced Ace-ah or Ace-er. Both are pretty cool but they'd forever be correcting people

Hey, you mentioned in your OP that you wanted names that were slightly unusual. I'm not sure how you define that, but of your boy names, only Aca and Rio aren't top 20, so I don't think anyone would call them unusual.

Just wanted to flag, because if you don't actually mind common names, it opens things up a bit more.

Have you considered the more traditional Asa spelling? I think that sounds lovely with Nova. Or you could go Acer like the tree, which gives that matching nature feel (but is also a laptop which may be off putting)

I only know boys called Quinn, often short for Quentin.

I don't like it for a girl at all

Scout?

@OnNaturesCourse , it's spelt Asa.

I like Asa. I've also ever only known Quinn as a boy's name (but also always misread it as Quim 🙈)

There are two spellings, either of which I am keen on.

Asa is too much like ass and Aca just looks like a brand. I do like the name though.

Acer then.
If you spell it Aca, you'll need a cedilla on the c, and it will not show in print most of the time.
Aça
