Boys names beginning with an A....

We already have a DS beginning with an A and thinking names for DC2 but boys names are proving rather difficult.

We like quite 'different' names ideally something that can't be shortened! TIA

Amazing what some people have suggested for names that can't be shortened! Almost everything can and will be shortened - or when he gets older it will probably get lengthened!

MrsJK · 13/10/2013 18:13

Thanks ladies - lots of food for
Thought! This naming malarkey certainly isn't easy

Yes,this may also be why I'm struggling for a boys name with DC3, we loved Arlo from the very beginning.

I dont know if this helps,but this is my current short list:

Rufus
Caspar
Asa

I know 2 brothers, Arran & Aiden

MrsJK · 11/10/2013 21:53

We already have one of those FRIGG :) hence why its so tough with number 2. That was a perfect name from the start with us!
