Baby girl names starting with A I U or Y

Really stumped for girls names. I have two sons whose names start with O and E so thought another vowel would be nice. Surname is double barreled so nothing too long.
I'm also not keen on the REALLY popular names 🤦

Any suggestions?

Don't use the initial Y. I used to work with someone called Yetunde and this conversation happened to her more than once;

Person in shop/on phone etc : first initial please
Yetunde: Y
Person: because we need it for our system
Yetunde: no, my initial is Y.

I can’t think of any I like that start with U!

blameitonthecaffeine · 08/04/2022 23:35

I know a family with 4 children who used E, A, I and O for the initials. I think E, A and I were coincidental but they thought it was funny and made a deliberate decision with O.

There are so many beautiful A names for girls. Lots of I too though I can't think of many U names I like.

Leaving aside very common names:

Arwen, Amaya, Astrid, Alba, Ariel, Amy, Aubrey, Amberley, Aria, Aliya, Abigail, Araminta, Aphra, Anika, Anoushka, Alannah, Avery, Ailsa

Imogen, Inez, Iris, Ingrid, Isadora, Iona

I read book starring Ylva, from Norwegian author who published it more than 50 years ago.
So, my suggestion is Ylva.

Ylva
Anya
Alma
Alcina
Asya

Ooh and Aine

EverydayIsPJday · 10/04/2022 19:00

Thanks everyone, quite like Ada, Anna and maybe Alba. I think A's are the easiest!

For these letters there is most to choose from with A. For U I don't think Ursie has yet been syggested.
