Names starting with A

Can I ask for your suggestions for A names?

We already have an Aurora.

Love nature names but am not fixated on that.

Have more ideas for girls but next to none for boys! Any suggestions for either would be appreciated, thank you.

Amazing thank you everyone!

Agree about the a on the end sound, would be too similar

Adam
Alexander
Ash for your nature option

Amaryllis - I think this would go really well with Aurora and is a flower
Allegra

Oh I see, fair enough! Totally understand not wanting DC2 to feel left out.

I will share some girls name suggestions then Grin

Ada
Adele
Alba
Alice
Amber
Amelie

I think I would avoid a name ending with the same "a" sound as Aurora (although I have listed some!)

@NameChange30 I know it's frowned upon on MN but myself and my DH are both A's ... We love the name Aurora having seen the northern lights and picked it long before she was born. So we are accidentally in that pattern and I don't want DC2 to feel left out. May be over thinking that but currently looking for A names.

Aleydis. I came across it when reading Girl with the Pearl Earring and found it beautiful. It's Dutch I think. I pronounce it a-lay-dis but not sure if that's right
