Our favorite girl names for baby #3 were [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] and [name_u]Alva[/name_u], but it’s a boy 
What boy names would you associate/consider the equivalents of [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] and Alva?! Looking for fresh ideas.
Thanks, berries

This will be #3 and probably our last 
So sad to not use either of those girl names!
I love Cillian/Killian, but I wish there were better nickname options for it.

[name_u]Alva[/name_u] can already be used for a boy, but maybe other [name_m]Al[/name_m]- names, such as [name_m]Alec[/name_m], [name_m]Alan[/name_m], etc. etc.

Yeah I know it’s more commonly male, but my husband had a female ancestor with the name, which always stuck with me 
I like [name_m]Alec[/name_m], but my husband is [name_u]Alex[/name_u], so a little too close.

I like [name_u]Lowen[/name_u] and [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] a lot! [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] would be hard with our last name though, that all ends in an L sound.

[name_m]Demetrius[/name_m], [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] and [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] are the first names that come to mind for [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] however they’re quite a different style. I wonder if [name_u]Dempsey[/name_u], [name_m]Denzel[/name_m], [name_m]Damon[/name_m], [name_m]Dino[/name_m] or [name_u]Denny[/name_u] hold any appeal. I read a novel recently with a character named [name_u]Denny[/name_u] and it really grew on me.
Alvern, [name_m]Alvar[/name_m], [name_m]Alvan[/name_m], and [name_u]Alwin[/name_u] are all reasonably close to [name_u]Alva[/name_u] to satisfy the connection to your husband’s ancestor if that’s something you want to do. If you don’t mind straying from the connection I’ll also suggest [name_m]Irving[/name_m], [name_m]Ivo[/name_m], [name_m]Aubin[/name_m], [name_u]Arlen[/name_u], [name_m]Mervin[/name_m], [name_u]Bevan[/name_u], [name_m]Levin[/name_m], [name_m]Lars[/name_m], [name_m]Lathan[/name_m], [name_m]Gavin[/name_m] and [name_m]Talan[/name_m] for their partial similarity.

Their names are [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] and [name_m]Cormac[/name_m]. I’ve done posts adding to their subset before and wanted to see what suggestions I got without
I like [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] a lot, but my husband isn’t on board with that one
