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..

Aurèlia/Aurélia/Aurelia. It means golden.

It was the name of Julius Caesar's mother, and more importantly the beautiful Portuguese lady in Love Actually.

Or........ you could just pick a name you really like.

2 generations is not a tradition!

My daughter is called amillia (am-ill-ee-a) people think its a weird spelling of amelia or that it's a made up name. It is a real name, it means amiable. She gets called milli most of the time.

Do you mean rare in England? Because where I come from some of these are very common.

I can't believe no one has said Azura! It's an elaboration of Azure which is a shade of blue (link to the ocean possibly?) I think it's a lovely name and I've never come across anyone with it!
