This is from a book I read years ago, "North Child" by Edith Pattou. The mother wanted 7 children each born facing a different direction (but not North - due to something she was told about a North child's destiny). They were named after the direction they were born. (I think the book is set in Norway. I can't remember exactly).

Nils Erlend
Elise
Selma Eva
Sara
Sonja Wende
Willem
Neddy Wilfrid
Ebba Rose (Called Rose. She was born after Elise died however she was born facing North. Her father wanted her to be called Nyamh Rose but the mother denied that she was born facing North. Rose was after the middle of the compass.)

WDYT? I like the name Ebba.
