Girls name beginning with A.

I am pregnant with my second child due in May. Our daughters name is Annabelle and we would like a name that also begins with A but we are struggling to agree for the girls name. We have a boys name (Andrew) but need a girls name. My husband likes Anastasia but I am unsure about this. Any suggestions ?

Andrea can be shortened to Andi

StrumpersPlunkett · 25/12/2015 21:44

No idea but nothing that can be shortened to the same thing.

Antigone? I love it but wasn't brave enough to use it (don't think I'm posh enough to pull it off)

I think Annabelle and Anastasia are a bit close for sisters (both could be shortened to Anna/Ana)
