Do these names work?

Hi! We're expecting our third baby in March. We have two sons, Max and Solomon (see my lovely siggy).

At this moment in time we have TWO names: Tova Maureen or Ephraim Mordecai (MN is a ?? in this case).

Do these names match our boys' names? Do you have other suggestions? Do you like Dvira or Aviva for girls? I like those last two but DH does not. Any other boy names? I'm not 100% sold on Ephraim, but it is the ONLY boy name DH was even okay with.

You'll not be surprised to hear that we're going to find out the gender ASAP - being this lost for names I'd at least like to narrow it down to ONE list! Yikes.

Well, he wasn't teased too much when he was little (but got "Oh, Amos and Ande" a LOT). When he hit 8 or 9 or so, the kids suddenly made the connection with anus and Amos and then it was non-stop from just a few kids. The link it pretty unavoidable for kids to make, sadly. It never occurred to my sister, although I thought of it right away (they didn't tell the name until after he was born, so it was a little late for me to offer the idea).
She really wanted to name him Amasa (which, apparently, a lot of Americans called a-MASS-ah, whereas we pronounce it AM-uh-suh) but her DH thought it sounded 'too feminine'. It's a family name, and is Max's middle name.
Good luck deciding - I know my sister, while really supporting his need to change his name (it's been over a year now) still feels bad that she gave him the 'wrong' name.
