Unusual girls or unisex names begginging with A??

We love (and have settled on) the name Aubrey if baby is a boy, and although I know Aubrey is a unisex name, I'm not as keen on it if she's a girl.

Thoughts on Addison?

Suggestions please ❤

Glad you've discounted Addison. It's a disease for me too.

Andrea was the one that immediately sprung to mind for a girl - unusual for either sex in the UK these days but more common for boys in Europe (and the nn Andi on girls has a cool vibe). Alternatively even though it's not strictly unisex, Adrienne could also possibly have the nn Andi rather than Adie - and sounds very similar to boys Adrian to me.
