Unusual boy names beginning with A

96 replies

Mynamesblurryface · 10/10/2018 06:36

Struggling to come up with names beginning with A that aren't the usual Archie/Alfie done to death names.
Any suggestions for old usual names with an A that have fallen out of favour over the years ?

I love the name Asa that's already on the list. We know too many Aarons Adams and Aidens its very 1990s

Acer is the name of a computer not a human surely Hmm. Just suggested Aloysius to DH and he isn't keen but i love it ! Babies initials are AJ so AJ as a name wouldn't work
