So im having my first little one and I can not find a name that fits what im looking for. First girl or boy the name should start with the letter A. Second i'm looking for very unique names Ive been up and down google and havent seen one. I dont mine if its 2 letters or 10 letters, if its a place/thing etc. (with great meaning). I also need girl middle names (dont have to start with an A. I was looking for an odd name that means God is good. And just to throw some things out there I love these things the ocean (I was literally going to do a middle name as Ocean), black history, and movies..

The most comprehensive list of baby names is on the ONS (office for national statistics) baby names registered in the UK for each year. The top 1000 most popular girls or boys names are listed by frequency. After that it becomes easier because all the names are listed A-Z.
