Bean # 3- sibling for Sena and Gus

[nono]

I don't love Francine, but otherwise I really like all of your names! I've never encountered Asenath before, but I really like it!

Suggestions ...

Dinah
Olive
Vashti
Luella / Lula
Thora
Salome
Idony
Iona
Alda
Ianthe
Cora
Persis

Jethro
Absalom (Likely too matchy with your other children's names. It's just that I've been loving this lately, and it fits in so well ... probably too well. The meaning is so wonderful - "father of peace.")
Elisha ("Eli"?)
Boaz
Jove
Evander
Caius
Aldo
Phoebus
Silvius
Priam
Rafe

I love your names. Two very old-fashioned ancestor names with sleek, slim nicknames. Sena is one of those short forms, like Etta and Mina, that was around a lot at the end of the 19th century. I think it works now especially because of its "secret" long form but to me these names seem a bit slight all on their own, so if you're attracted to Etta I'd love to see her full name be Henrietta or Marietta and if Nell then Peternelle or Helena or Cornelia.

You have such an adventurous, quirky style that I'd love to try and foist some of my favorites on you. Some ideas beyond those I've already mentioned:

girls

Cosima
Flora
Jemima
Keziah
Keturah
Leonie
Minerva
Olympia
Tabitha

boys

Abel (I know, A)
Abner
Amias or Amyas
Balthazar
Cassius
Ishmael
Lazarus
Omar
Otis

Oh, also wanted to say I realize I repeated some excellent ideas. I also love Reuben and Persephone!
