need a name for a boy beginning with A but am totally clueless. DH has already forbidden the names that I like. Can I tell you what I like and you make suggestions?

I Like that DH has vetoed:

Augustus (Gus)
Alexei
Alfred
Albert

Any other A suggestions?

Aston.
Only heard this one a couple of times in the past but think it's lovely.
Alastair is lovely too.

Oh! Asher! Beautiful biblical name but I wasn't allowed it as we have an -er surname!

Any Welsh ancestry? I wanted Aled for ds but got vetoed by English dh. Other 'A' names - Antony/Anthony, Anton, Andrew, Alexander/Alex, Aneurin, erm ......

Love Augustus (Gus), was a choice for us if we'd had another boy. We also liked Arlo.
