A names? Addox?

What are some A names that are great for boys? I love [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] (my brother’s name) but my husband won’t agree to it. Spam me with A names that you like for a boy! I’ve scoured lists but I feel like asking here might give me some better options :slight_smile: Thank you!

Additionally - I recently thought of the name Addox - not an “actual” name, but what would you think if you heard this? Weird, or kind of cool? I can’t decide!

You’ve had amazing suggestions so I’d only be repeating them, but I wanted to comment on Addox. If you like it, you might also like [name_u]Addax[/name_u], which is a nature name according to Nameberry.

[name_m]Ansel[/name_m]
[name_m]Aurelio[/name_m]

my favorite is sweet [name_m]Abel[/name_m] :herb: another one I like is [name_u]Aster[/name_u]!

I like Addox! As far as A names I’ve always liked Averitt and [name_m]Avett[/name_m]. Not sure if they’re “real” names either though!

Some others I haven’t seen suggested yet:
[name_m]Aiken[/name_m]
Alan/Allen
[name_u]Austin[/name_u]

Maybe I’m alone, but I’m not really a fan of Addox. Partially because it feels incomplete without the M (for Maddox), but mostly because I would pronounce Addox exactly the same as the word “attics” and that feels weird for a name. I’m sure there’s some regional variation to the pronunciation, - I’m from the upper Midwest USA.

[name_f]My[/name_f] vote goes to [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] or [name_m]Abel[/name_m]!

I had the same exact thought about “attics” - I actually asked a couple friends if they thought that was weird but they said it wasn’t their first thought so that made me feel a little better. Honestly I don’t even know if my husband will agree to it, I wanted to get some outside opinions before I ask him for his haha. But thank you for your input!! It really does help!
