Interesting Given Names

How about these names for Sophie/Sopha/Sophia Bowlin Bartley's children?

Asa
Ava (called Avy, Avie-not spelled "Amy" as in early census- my grandmother)
Osa (called Osie, Osy, Osee- long "O" sound)
Ora (called Orie, Aura, Aurey)
Oel (pronounced "Oil")
Otis- lived with sister, Ava and husband, Ode Kiser for many years and often assumed by researchers looking at census info to be a Kiser.
Ersa (called Ersie, Ursie) I wonder if this is short for Ursula?
Okra (yes, like the vegetable, called Okrie)
Lessa (called Lessie but in records as Ethel sometimes- no one knows why)

Can anyone make some connections- certainly some unique names here.
