Gone through so many 'A' names I can't hear them as real words anymore..help!

[TheKidsAreAllWrong]

which ones are nice? (if any!)

Anya [Arn-ya]
April
Amber
Alyssa
Ailie [Ay-lee]
Aithne [Eth-nee]
Allegra
Albany
Amelia
Alexa

[Tillyscoutsmum]

I like Anya (but would pronounce in Ann-ya but then I'm common . Amelia & Alexa are both nice but are quite popular (lots of Millie's and Lexie's around)

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

Anya
April
Amber
Alexa

[TheKidsAreAllWrong]

now that i've posted that i don't know if i don't prefer Ann-ya..? so tone deaf to names now. might have to sleep on it for few weeks...zzzz

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

There's also Adriana, Aurelia, Alina, Andrea, Angela. Why does it have to be A?

[Kayano]

I'm considering both Arya and Abbey for a girl. Still trying to pry DH away from the dreaded Sophie lol

[TheKidsAreAllWrong]

It doesn't have to be A, that's just where we started! (But I do seem to like vowel starting names...)

Don't like Andrea or Angela because they, unreasonably I know, sound a bit 80's to me.

Never heard of Alina though and that's starting to sound good....

I like Abbey but DP has a thing against "shortened" names as full names

[EdithWeston]

Of you list, I think Allegra is by far and away the nicest.

The rest are all fine, except Albany which I really don't like (sorry).

[NormanTheForeman]

Alexandra
Anna
Alanna

[Sidge]

Aurelie
Annabel
Angelica

[Crosshair]

Alice.

I like Amber from your list.

[mogandthecat]

Anya [Arn-ya] - by far the nicest
April - ok
Amber - dog's name-
Alyssa - made up sounding
Ailie [Ay-lee] - nice if spelled Eilidh
Aithne [Eth-nee] - nice if spelled Eithne
Allegra - makes me think of long legged creatures but maybe just me as people on here seem to like it
Albany - sounds like a hotel
Amelia - don't like, v popular
Alexa - ok but don't like Lexie

In summary, love Anya. Also like Alice and Anna. Good luck choosing.

[NorksAreMessy]

Aline is gorgeous and unusual
Allegra was one of my choices for DD (overruled)
Anastacia seems to be getting more popular

[Bonsoir]

Anya will be pronounced Ann-ya by the world at large.

I like Alexia (with an i)

[InstantAtom]

April, Amber, Alyssa and Amelia are the nicest of those IMO.

[Kayano]

I heard the name Allenby once and I loved it. Unusual but nice

[RustyBear]

I love Amber, but I am prejudiced, having a gorgeous one of my own...

I like Allegra and Alexa from your list. I also like Alyssa, but there are so many spelling and pronunciation variations around that she'd probably spend her whole life telling people how to spell/pronounce it.

[BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger]

Althea?

[FriskyMare]

Audrey
Alice
Ailsa
Aisling
Annabel
Arabella
Agnes
Augusta

Don't particularly like all of these, was just seeing how many I could think of:o

[WheelsOnTheBike]

Anya is lovely, but I too would pronounce it Anya. I know adding an R is a regional accent thing, but I think that sounds common, sorry!

[WheelsOnTheBike]

Alicia is a nice name too.

[CandiceMariePratt]

Agatha

[FellatioNelson]

Kayano If you are going to have Abbie then please spelling Abbie or Abi(gail) or Abby. Abbey is not a name, it's a large building.

[FellatioNelson]

spell not spelling Sorry.

[survivingsummer]

I love 'A' names. My faves from your list are:

Anya
Amelia
Alexa

I also like:

Ariadne
Alice
Anis (very old fashioned version of Agnes - lovely I think!)
Anna
Annie


I have an Anya - is always pronounced Ann-ya. I think is Arn-ya is America as this is how FIL pronounces it as he is American!

[InstantAtom]

Don't get too stuck on any particular letter or you'll end up with a really long list of names you don't like!
