Alexis/Aurora OR Ares/August

[tinselmom]

We've decided to stick to an 'A' theme (I have a 1-year-old named Atticus) and have narrowed it down to:

Alexis or Aurora for a girl and Ares or August for a boy

What do you think of these names? Happy to hear more suggestions for 'A' names too

Augustus is nice, as long ad you don't end up with Cus and Gus.

Andrew, Austin, Allen, Adam, adonis (jk).

Arabella, anastasia, athena

Aurora is lovely.

Alexis is unisex, and I prefer to your boys' choices.

Alexis & August are the nicest I think. I don’t mind Aurora, don’t like Ares.

Why choose names starting with the same letter
August is the name of a month

Alexis by a country mile. I like Aurora but Alexis sounds sassy and full of character.

Not keen on either Ares or August. Augustus isn't too bad as an alternative but I think Ares would be changed to Arse at school and you would have to be robust to pull it off. Shame, because it sounds nice.

None sorry, but as above said if August were for a girl then yes

It seems deeply unclever to have the same initials. That way madness lies for post, appointments, etc.

Alexis is a Greek boys' name to me, so Aurora. It seems bizarre to name a child after the personification of war, so August.

WellQual
That is a very harsh opinion.
I know twins with very similar names and they were fine.

Alexis is lovely. August is nice. Aurora (roar roar roar) is terrible and Ares is a no from me.

Aurora is a name that looks pretty but doesn't sound very nice. She will be Owowa or Ovova to some people. Oriana is prettier sounding.

Girl: I prefer Alexis, but I'm not keen on the similarity of Atticus and Alexis, so would choose Aurora.

Boy: I much prefer August, and don't like Ares, however I don't like Atticus and August for siblings. Sounds too close to me.
