Baby girl names 'a' first sound

[bluemoon2468]

I really like a number of girl's names starting with the 'a' (for apple) sound, but for different reasons am not sure about them:

Ariella - I love but DH says it reminds him of 'areola' 🙈

Aria - I know this word (the musical term) is said ar-ee-uh, but DH suggested it as a-ree-uh. I love the sound of it with the short 'a' but don't want to pick a name that we're basically just saying wrong.

Arielle - DH doesn't like at all

Can anyone make any suggestions of similar names we might like? We don't want anything made up or overly, overly unusual or hard to spell. We also want something quite feminine. Thank you!

Ariane
Araminta

Marianne
Gabriella
Charis

Ariel, spelt that way?

Arla

Atlanta

Amaryllis

Annette

Ariana: I think is quite nice, despite the singer.

Aria: are you sure you want to pronounce it like the last three syllables of diarrhoea?

Rhea or Raya is quiet close.

Harriet, too.

Aurelia

@EugeniaGrace no, a-ree-uh (a for apple, with the stress on the first syllable). But we won't be using it as I'm not up for a name no one will be able to pronounce right first time. My maiden name was like that and even that annoyed me.

Allegra
Aurora
Aurelia

Oooh I'm liking Arabelle! Had thought of Arabella but prefer Arabelle!

Might have been suggested already but Arella? Means angel

Apphia

Arlene (not very fashionable, but perhaps?)

Adriana
Arwen
Amelie
