I really want an unique sounding middle name for my baby starting with an A. Both her first and last names start with a A and I plan on having her initials be AAA. (for privcay reasons I wont share the full name)

I heard it somewhere, an American tv programme probably!

Could it have been Anneke, a Dutch pet form of Anna?

I like Amaryllis, but it makes me think of the poem by Thomas Campion, which, while lovely, is not appropriate for a young girl.

Possibly that was the name. Mind you Anarchy has grown on me!

If you really want to be sure she's first on any register then why not go for Aardvark... At least that's a real word

Or you could ditch the —made-up— outlandish and ugly names and go with Aurora, or Aurore if three syllables is too many,
Not youneek obviously but also not weird or try-hard.

AardaVee sounds like it should be Afrikaans for wild cows in the Veldt.

timoteigirl · 27/03/2026 15:04

I can understand you want a rare name but to me those don't sound nice and seem nonsense names. I just googled names I've never heard of so maybe rare and unique enough for you:
Alazne
Aella
Abilene
Astra
Adia
