Unusual girls or unisex names begginging with A??

We love (and have settled on) the name Aubrey if baby is a boy, and although I know Aubrey is a unisex name, I'm not as keen on it if she's a girl.

Thoughts on Addison?

Suggestions please ❤

Aphra
After Aphra Behn, an amazing woman. Playwrite, poet, feminist.

Atlas?!!

Anouk is nice. Or Anoushka.

Aphra (as in Behn)
Amy? You don't hear of people calling their daughters Amy any more. Ditto Amanda - due a comeback IMO.
Alethea
Apolline
My dc know an Alena (European so pronounced Alayna)
Anke (An-ka). Middle-aged-lady name here in Germany but think it could sound quite strong in a new context.

I like Addison but feel it might work better for a boy (maybe because it ends in son?)

Addison is lovely. I know an Addison and she is the sweetest girl. How about Alba or ainsley

Andrea was the one that immediately sprung to mind for a girl - unusual for either sex in the UK these days but more common for boys in Europe (and the nn Andi on girls has a cool vibe). Alternatively even though it's not strictly unisex, Adrienne could also possibly have the nn Andi rather than Adie - and sounds very similar to boys Adrian to me.
