I am 21 weeks with a boy who is a very welcomed surprise. I have 4 kids all names start with A and it didn’t originally start on purpose that way but once you are past 2-3, the older kids feel like sib would feel left out of the “A team” as they call themselves. So here I am and I can’t find an A name that I like that isn’t too close to one of the other names. Help!
I have and @bigail, @idan, @sher and an @ubrey
names we like:
[name_u]August[/name_u] nn [name_m]Augie[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_m]Anders[/name_m]
There are others like [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] but we can’t use it because it’s already in the family and feel it’s sort of blah. The first 3 kiddo’s are all older so their names while popular now were not at all popular when I gave them. In fact, we have only ever come across one other @sher all of these years and don’t know any @ubrey’s.
Any suggestions? We don’t like names that are too obscure but definitely not in the top 10 if that helps.
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Anders[/name_m] are great- I think I prefer [name_m]Anders[/name_m]. I don’t love [name_u]August[/name_u] but I think I’m in the minority here!!
And agree with pp- [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is cute
Few other ideas
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_u]Alden[/name_u]
[name_m]Austin[/name_m]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_m]Alec[/name_m]/[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_m]Angelo[/name_m]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the three name options you have. I know so many [name_m]Archer[/name_m]/[name_m]Archie[/name_m]’s so would go with one of the others if you prefer it to be less popular.
I would go for the very cool, Euro [name_m]Anders[/name_m]! [name_m]Archer[/name_m] seems too close to [name_m]Asher[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u] is too intense to me.
There’s also [name_m]Ansel[/name_m], [name_m]Aalto[/name_m] and [name_m]Axel[/name_m] - but prob too Euro/trendy/unusual, whereas [name_m]Anders[/name_m] is not! Another option is [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] or [name_m]Alistair[/name_m].
One thing I really like about your kids names is that they all start with the same letter but all end in different letters.
I know it’ll be hard not to repeat the end sound but I think you should try to stick with this trend. It seems like it keeps their names from mushing together when you say them in a row.
Two suggestions I have for you are [name_u]Andre[/name_u] and [name_m]Abram[/name_m]. Both are within the top 1000 but not anywhere near the top 10.
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u] are both wonderful, they were on my list as well! And if you’re feeling courageous, I think [name_m]Arrow[/name_m] is a pretty amazing boy name, too. (Wish my husband shared my name taste because [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Arrow[/name_m] would 100% be on my list). [name_m]Axel[/name_m] and [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] have both been A names on my list, as well.
I do think [name_m]Archer[/name_m] is a little too close to [name_m]Asher[/name_m], sorry, and [name_u]August[/name_u] “[name_m]Augie[/name_m]” is perhaps too close to [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], too.
I feel like [name_u]August[/name_u] is too close to [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u],maybe that’s just me. I like [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Anders[/name_m] though.

Yes, we were really questioning the [name_m]Augie[/name_m]/[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] thing. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m] are similar but at least it’s just the ending and he’d likely be caused [name_m]Archie[/name_m], plus there is a 13 year age difference. I do love [name_m]Anders[/name_m] though so I’m sort of torn between [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Anders[/name_m].
For me the similarity between [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m] would bother me more than Auggie and [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]. Auggie is just a nickname that as he grew older he could choose not use. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] on the other hand would stick with him for ever. So [name_u]August[/name_u] gets my vote.
