I really want an unique sounding middle name for my baby starting with an A. Both her first and last names start with a A and I plan on having her initials be AAA. (for privcay reasons I wont share the full name)

Obviously not a real thread… your suggestions gave the game away

timoteigirl · 27/03/2026 15:04

I can understand you want a rare name but to me those don't sound nice and seem nonsense names. I just googled names I've never heard of so maybe rare and unique enough for you:
Alazne
Aella
Abilene
Astra
Adia

AardaVee sounds like it should be Afrikaans for wild cows in the Veldt.

Or you could ditch the —made-up— outlandish and ugly names and go with Aurora, or Aurore if three syllables is too many,
Not youneek obviously but also not weird or try-hard.

I heard it somewhere, an American tv programme probably!

HelenaWilson · 27/03/2026 15:37

Could it have been Anneke, a Dutch pet form of Anna?

I like Amaryllis, but it makes me think of the poem by Thomas Campion, which, while lovely, is not appropriate for a young girl.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm?

SausageRoll2020 · 27/03/2026 15:44

If you really want to be sure she's first on any register then why not go for Aardvark... At least that's a real word
