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

We have an Andrew and I've never met another one of his generation. Can be shortened though, but I know lots my age who haven't been.

Armand is lovely.

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!

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

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!
