help me with unique girl "A" names! - Page 2

[tzs]

i know an Ayla! it's a pretty name....it means like..."gazelle"...or is it "oak tree" or something....ugh, can't remember.

[JoyousJenny]

I love A names - my husband like the name Ali and I wanted a name that ended in ahhhhh SO we named our daughter Aliana - we have never heard another and people always comment that it is a beautiful name :)

My DD2's middle name is Acacia. We include some kind of tree name in all of our kids' names, I like the impression of strength and vitality it gives. This baby's middle name would have been Ash if she were a boy, though I think it could work for a girl, too.

[Beverly]

One of my baby daughter's middle names is Agda. :)

I wanted to name DD Ayla, but it got vetoed pretty harshly by DH. Apparently there's a character in a video game (Chrono Trigger) that's an unintelligent cave woman. It' supposed to be a reference to Clan of the Cave Bear, the Earth's Children Series. The Earth's Children series eventually turned into a porn book series by the fourth book. 

How about the name Azalea? Azaleas are flowers which symbolize temperance, passion and womanhood.

[AtYourCervices]

And other A names inspired by flowers include:

Amaryllis - The meaning of amaryllis flowers is pride, timidity and splendid beauty. girl's name is pronounced am-ah-RILL-iss. It is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Amaryllis is "fresh, sparkling". Also the name of a flower. A poetic name for a simple shepherdess or country girl.

You could also go with a variant of Alice, such as Alise. http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Alice

Or how about Aida?

Rooting for Amaryllis!

Adding Ada. Sweet, simple.

Ameera

Arabella

I think of Amarillo Texas when I see/hear the name Amaryllis....Azalea sounds much prettier to me

Here's my list of A names for girls....many Spanish influenced.

[Baby_Cakes]

I met an older woman named Aurelia at work on Friday.  I loved her name!

[arihillfarm]

Glad you like Astrid. That's my name. :-)  I'm 38 years old and have yet to meet another Astrid in real life.  My daughter is named Ariana but she was named 10 years ago before it became more popular.

-Astrid

[Mamatoabunch]

Annabelle

Arden

Anniston

[memz]

Alice....that's my middle name and it was my great grandmother's name....I even thought about naming my DD that but it was a no go for my DH...

[onetwoten]

Oooh ooh keep them coming. I love A names, but DH and I can never seem to agree on one. Now I've got lots to run by him.

The only one I can think of that's not on the list is fairly plain-- Addison. I just really want a nickname Addie.

I love Adlee for a boy, but it could be a nice girls middle name too.

[motherhendoula]

Ainsley   - its a boys name , but i like it for a girl.

I love that idea of adding a tree name to each childs name...Acacia is great!

[dislocator3972]

Aliza: it's a Hebrew name meaning 'joyful'. 

DD is Adelaide and I'm trying to convince DH that Aliza should be the new baby's name. We'll see. 

[Viola]

I really like Anaya.  When I lived in So CA, here was a street near my house with that name.  The street we lived off of was Melinda and we were near a Margarita, Marguerite and Alicia.  We wanted our child to have a middle name that had some reference to our region, and I remember wishing we had used Anaya, although it wouldn't really fit with the first name very well.

wow, lots of great suggestions! i'll definitely have to show my husband this thread :)  thank you!!

[ryleeee]

and i LOVE the tree idea...one of our considerations is aspen :)

[samstress]

well, i'm partial to amelia (dd's middle name).  not super unique, but it's also not very popular (at least i haven't met any amelias).  love it so much we kind of wish we'd saved it to use as a first name (if we have another girl).
