I think another good one to add to this list is Odessa. I first heard it working on historical records because it had a wave of popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Turns out it’s a place name and a literary name. It’s a port city on the Black Sea in Ukraine and was named after the Odyssey. So the name literally means “odyssey” or “journey”. I think you could also use the nickname Dessie with it and that would be cute.

And I chimed in and said that growing up with a name that is linked to a somewhat tragic story is not as big as a problem is people try to make it out to be. It really didn't affect my life at all. And I like having a unique name that is connected to a history and a story even if it's not the happiest of stories.

Ava, Asher & Edda (meaning "poetry") *For a boy* Ava, Asher & Emil (meaning "lively") Ava, Asher & Einar (meaning "one warrior; battle leader" or "one who fights alone") Ava, Asher & Ivo (meaning "yew wood, archer") Ava, Asher & Evert (meaning "brave, strong boar" or "shepherd")

For the baby naming dilemma, a few ideas for a sibling to Ava and Asher: Ingrid Lavender Runa Brigid/Bridget Greta Fiona Cait Linnea Una/Oona Clover Freya Orla Yvaine Moira And while I know they're not going for all A names, I gotta throw Anouk, Agnes, and Astrid out too. Blaine Roscoe Ferris Declan Gregor Nils Thurston Colm Laszlo Nigel Stellan Eames Otto Gustav And some A names worth mentioning are Axel/Axl, Ansel/Anselm, and Aalto This might be my favorite list of yours yet. I'm not sure what it is about the letter O but I love it! Odette was my absolute favorite name as a little girl! When I was 7 I had a baby doll with an adoption certificate and I named her Odette Clara (I was going through a hardcore ballet phase lol.) Odette is still on my shortlist for a real baby, as a first or a middle. Honora was also a name I played around with for a bit as a middle, which could be great for someone who still wants a little length and that -a ending but likes the virtue appeal of Honor/Honour. I have a little cousin name Shiloh! I've always loved Bronte, if it weren't so similar to my own name it'd be on my list. Violette/Violetta is so pretty, I really like the variation Violaine as well (and that one could lend itself to the nickname Lainey which I know is well loved.) Opal is another favorite of mine from childhood! It's my birthstone so of course I have a bit of a soft spot for it. It was also the name of our elderly neighbor when I was younger and she was an absolute delight. Some other O names I love that might appeal to fans of Olivia: Odilia Oceana Oona Olwen Oatha Oleana Ouida Orinthia Names containing a prominent O: Andromeda Anemone Antonia Bronwen Callisto Clarimond Clio Clover Corisande Cornelia Eponine Hannelore Leonora Liliosa Paloma Pomeline Ramona Scirocco Soleil Verona

Great idea for a list SJ! Definitely needed! My immediate alternative for Olivia is always, Viola (Vie-ola) because it has literally every letter of Olivia but is much less popular. It means “violet” (just like Violette). And it’s a Shakespeare name from the same play as Olivia (Twelfth Night) haha. I like it a lot more than Olivia personally. For Natalie: Ava, Asher and Wren (beautiful gender neutral name that is a small songbird but also means “tiny conqueror”. LOVE IT! Ava, Asher and Emy (super cute but beautiful short name that means “ambition” or “whole”. Love it with Ava. It’s also not super popular.) Ava, Asher and Tyson (very cool name meaning “high spirited” or “fiery” which can be shortened to Ty and is so cute as a sib-set. Asher and Tyson sound like the coolest brothers too.) Best of luck :)

For the name dilemma I found a couple I thought may work! I really love the name Orla for them. It's Irish and means golden princess, so it would be for a girl. But I think that it fits in with the two syllable names with a strong a sound. Ava, Asher and Orla sounds so good I think. Another one is Fallon which means leader and is an Irish name that is also gender neutral. I thought it went well with the strong A sound but not too matchy.

With Asher meaning 'happy', the girls name Shona (Show-na) could work. It is a not too popular Irish word name meaning happy!

For the baby name dilemma I recommend Eden (Delight) or Cara (Friend in Irish) for a girl, and either Dara (Oak Tree in Irish, sometimes spelled Darragh) or Rowan (Little red head, sometimes spelled Roan) :)

My top name choice that also happens to be an O name is the name Ora. I think it sounds so beautiful and is rare, yet familiar. Given our multiracial family with three different languages being spoken, the name did not quite work for my baby girl, but we feel excited about using the very close version: Nora.

I love Odette but it is a bit hard to put with certain last names. This may be another reason it isn't more popular.

I agree. My last name ends in Ette, so I can't use it.

My name is Olivia and when I was born in 1997, my parents only knew one other Olivia. It was so rare and my parents didn’t want her mother to be mad or think they’d copied her… so my mother brought her a pie and asked her permission to use the name as well. 😂😂😂 When I was 3 years old we moved just outside of Philadelphia and there were 6 Olivia’s just in our neighborhood… I used to hate how common it was and always went by Livy. But as an adult, I do love it

i was thinking for natalie a way to round out the names and still sort of match without being too matchy would to choose a name beginning with ‘r’ ava ends in ‘a’, asher begins with ‘a’ and ends in ‘r’. a few irish or scandi names that could work for either girl or boy that are easy to spell and say, classic but also a bit unique: rory riley rowan regan and i really like rafferty or roscoe for a little boy as well

My boyfriend told me he liked Olivia and I said I thought it was so over used and if he could get used to Ophelia instead, my top one girl name, and he was immediately on board ♥️🥰
