The Votes Are In!
And the winner is...Wren! Thanks for your votes. My mom told me that Clover sounds like something you'd name a cow and two people mentioned that they would spell Ester with an h (Esther). I think we'll work some more on our list and throw it out to you all again as we get closer to our referral. For now, all I can say for sure is that Clover and Juniper are out.

Good question! Yes, I have, though there aren't many on the name lists out there. If you find any that you like, let us know!
Did you see dad's email? Here it is

This is the best list I have found. Apparently Ethiopians use quite a few biblical names, including Rebekka / Rebecca, Rahel / Rachel, Gelila / Delilah, Sara / Sarah, etc. I sort of like Candace, which was an Ethiopian Queen's name, and Rebecca, among others.
There is another, similar list at:

Some of the spellings vary between the two lists.
