So im having my first little one and I can not find a name that fits what im looking for. First girl or boy the name should start with the letter A. Second i'm looking for very unique names Ive been up and down google and havent seen one. I dont mine if its 2 letters or 10 letters, if its a place/thing etc. (with great meaning). I also need girl middle names (dont have to start with an A. I was looking for an odd name that means God is good. And just to throw some things out there I love these things the ocean (I was literally going to do a middle name as Ocean), black history, and movies..

We can suggest names but great meaning has to come from you.

Also if you are going for a very unusual first name think about using a more well known middle name so that your child/adult son or daughter can use it if they prefer without offending you.

I work with a guy called Acelin.

I confess I laughed when I first heard it but I'm warming to it.

I've also come across an Axton recently. (Not warmed to that one yet!).
