Hello all! I could use some first name ideas. We are having a baby girl later this year. We already have 2 kids (a boy Le0 & a girl N0va).
To me, these are the things I care about in a name:
Sounds cool. I really love the names of our kids. They are short, a little bit spunky, and age well (in my opinion, though some may disagree). I love the long “o” sound, but I don’t need this in a name. I also love the long “i” and long “a” sounds, but these are also not requirements.
Easy to spell. I love that these names have simply, straightforward spellings.
No dumb meaning or association. This is obviously subjective. I don’t mind some associations (for instance Super N0va or N0va Scotia), but I don’t want there to be a negative meaning or an association that will lead to potential bullying or mistreatment.
Short. My favorite names are 1-2 syllables, 3-5 letters. I could fall in love with a longer name, but probably not anything longer than 3 syllables, 6 letters.
A family middle name. We will be using a family middle name (we have several to choose from) so I don’t need combos.
So with those rules, here are some names that are in the running, as long as other names I like but cannot use.
Candidates:
Willa
Kaia
Viva
Romy
Vera
Reese
Cannot Use:
Delta (this would be my #1 choice. I love this name)
Isla
Ada
Skye
Ellis
Juno
And in case it is helpful, if we were having a boy this time around, here are what the front-runner names would be: Enzo, Zion, Pax, Otto, Jude, Kai, Finn, Jonas.
Please give me any & all ideas. I feel like I might be missing some really good ones for this kiddo.

Zeda (Zay-duh) is another greek letter like Delta.
Out of your top runners I like Reese the most. I like that it has totally different sounds and letters than your other kids. But they somehow all mesh so well!
