Hi :)
I am writing a story and the main character is called Astra. She has four sisters and two brothers, any name suggestions?
The siblings names can (but don't have to) tie well with the name Astra - otherwise, they just have to go well together. (I hope that made sense)

Thanks,
:) xxxxx

PS. WDYT of the name Astra (in general) ?

Astra is a model of car made by Vauxhall, so thats my forst association. Her sisters could be Corsa, Nova and Zafira!

In a country where Astras are not a common car model, I think the name would be nice. Its quite feminine but also spunky and modern.
