Senna is an actual herb, which relieves constipation and acts as an emetic, IIRC.
Yeah, I think I'd stick to Basil and Rosemary for herb-based baby names.
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

Another generation of people who will always have to spell their names. Of course, anymore, people still ask me how to spell Connie. "Is that with a K? Is there a Y at the end?"
If I meet someone named Bahb, I may hunt down their parents and smack them.

Because books.
And thus Senokot! Ugh.
Arya is gorgeous. And Theon, character aside, isn't as nice a name as Theo.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Cinnae? Ciinaae? Seena? CinNaa? Sinah? Zinnah?
Cinna Mon for boys?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Context aside, I'd use the name Theon before Theo. Hypocritical for me to say, but Theo always sounded unfinished to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And thus Senokot! Ugh.
Ha! Note to self: don't name child Senna.
I've come across a couple women named Cinnamon.
My dumb herb-name story is that my cousin named her son Sage years after my neighbors named their daughter Sage, so my first reaction was literally, "Isn't that a girl's name??" Der. And Ugh.

But it's got the nice round O sound at the end! The N softens it too much for me.
But I love names that sound like that. I went through a phase where I wanted to name every one of the male characters in my romances Leo.

Isn't Theo just short for Theodore? Or Theodosius?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm going to mis-speak about a name that's refusing to come to mind but I've spoken a gazillion times--I just don't know which one it is yet--I don't think I like a nice round O at the end. And I do like how the n takes it and winds it down.
Leo, still being clearly short for something.
We had a Molly in uni who, when asked if that was short for something, she'd say she was short (5' even) for no reason at all.
