I have Evermore on my list as a GP option. It would make a cool middle, I think!
Seconding the previous suggestions of [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], & [name_u]Saturn[/name_u]!
One that came to mine was [name_m]Septimus[/name_m], meaning seventh (for seven)
