I love Delta.

Otto is eight in Italian, and there are plenty in my family tree

Well, there are the Latin number names (Primus, Secundus and so on), and there are Japanese and West African names that describe birth order.

I like thinking about words that sound like good names, though, and I think Abcissa, Array, and Meridian could work.

I just remembered Sarah Palin named one of her children Trig

Unless you explained it or were a math teacher or something, I don't think many people would make the connection. You could use names after famous mathematicians or names that start with Math like Matthew, Mathias, etc.

Maybe names that have mathematical kinds of meanings:
Joseph "he will add"
Zayd "to increase"
Secundus "second"
Trey "three"
Quinta "fifth"
Hemming "shape"
Rupa "shape, form"
Grant "great, large"
Vaughn "little"
Cash
Hana (one)
Una (one)
Mona (one)
Octavius / Octavia (eight)
Nona (ninth)
Septimus (seventh)
Primo (first)
Amit (infinite)
Decima (tenth)
Ensio (first)
Baylor (measuring stick)

Linnea is cute, I've never seen it before

---

Not sure it counts, but I remember a news story about a woman who wanted to marry Tetris (as in, the game). She had re-named herself Fractal.

I pronounce Linnea lin-NAY-uh, so it doesn't sound like "linear" to me. I know a Linnea and a Lynnea and both pronounce it that way.
