Girls names ending in 'a'

113 replies

Everybodysaycheese · 12/08/2020 09:14

For various reasons we're looking for a girls name ending in a/ah. We have a few options but none feel like the "one" quite yet.

Names that have already been ruled out:
Arabella
Alexandra
Bella (one of us likes, other does not)
Eliza (can't use for various reasons but like)
Matilda
Sarah (one of us likes, other does not)

I like slightly less popular names but DH doesn't like anything too out there. Any suggestions please?

Theodora is v versatile - Thea/Theo; Dora; Teddy. Also 'Leonora' for the same reason.

I love Ramona. Was on my list, but went with a very unusual 'A' name not seen on this thread so far.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

I LOVE Tallulah but DH has vetoed it... likewise Nina.

All of the females in three/four generations have "a/ah" ending names so don't want this one to be the odd one out if a girl! (Boys names are another matter entirely!)

Still trying to sneak Tallulah and Nina onto the short list. Also love Mara, Thea and Ada but DH not keen... so difficult to find a middle ground!
