Dessa?

In one of the last posts, it was asked what unique or out there name you'd consider naming your child. I said Dessa because it's really uncommon and other than one of the characters in one of my favourite books "I know this much is true" by Wally Lamb, I've never heard of it before.
I thought I'd never be able to consider it as a name because I highly doubted DH would go for it but guess what? I asked him what he thought a little while ago and he really likes it. Go figure! :)
I'm not a big fan of Odessa from which Dessa is drawn from.

What do you guys think of Dessa?

What would be a good mn choice? (our last name is Brookes)

I know some ppl are into "matchy" kind of sibsets. How does Dessa sound with Abigail (Abby)?

TIA guys:)

Actually, the name's growing surprisingly fast on me... My initial reaction was "meh.." but after thinking about it for a few minutes, and seeing it paired with Abigail, I actually like it! It sounds good with your last name, too.
