Boys names ending in 'a'

Boy Names
1

Can anyone suggest any boys names ending in ‘a’? So far I can only think of [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] (which I like). They don’t have to be short like those examples, but I do like [name_u]Luca[/name_u] in particular. So anything along those lines would be great. Thank you!

It’s not a very common ending for boy names. Here are some:

[name_m]Joshua[/name_m]
[name_u]Mischa[/name_u]
[name_u]Ira[/name_u]
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u]
[name_u]Ohara[/name_u]
[name_u]Dana[/name_u]
[name_u]Indiana[/name_u]
[name_u]Dakota[/name_u]

A lot of Biblical boys names end in -a or -ah.
[name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_m]Joshua[/name_m], [name_u]Asa[/name_u], [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], [name_u]Elisha[/name_u], [name_m]Judah[/name_m], [name_u]Micah[/name_u], [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] the list goes one, almost forever.

Others would be more unfamiliar:
[name_u]Akiva[/name_u]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u] ([name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Edison[/name_m]'s middle name)
[name_f]Cosma[/name_f]
Connla
[name_u]Columba[/name_u]
[name_u]Dakota[/name_u]
[name_u]Dana[/name_u]
[name_u]Dara[/name_u]
[name_f]Fiachna[/name_f]
Fiachra
[name_u]Indiana[/name_u]
[name_u]Ira[/name_u]
Mithra
Mirza
[name_u]Nikita[/name_u]
[name_f]Ola[/name_f]
[name_u]Seneca[/name_u]
[name_f]Sheba[/name_f]
Vesa

I’m not convinced any of those are what you’re looking for, perhaps [name_u]Ira[/name_u]?

There’s also a brand of Russian diminutives ending in -a
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u] ([name_m]Alexander[/name_m])
[name_u]Misha[/name_u] ([name_u]Michael[/name_u])
[name_u]Pasha[/name_u] ([name_m]Paul[/name_m])
[name_u]Roma[/name_u] ([name_m]Roman[/name_m])
[name_m]Vanya[/name_m] ([name_m]Ivan[/name_m])
[name_m]Kolya[/name_m] ([name_m]Nikolai[/name_m])
[name_m]Dima[/name_m] ([name_m]Dmitri[/name_m])

Next stop would be word names, I can only think of one at the moment, Coda. I really like Coda!

[name_m]Hezekiah[/name_m] and [name_u]Elisha[/name_u] are favourite Bibilical boys name of mine :slight_smile:

[name_u]Asa[/name_u] is a gorgeous one!

I can’t really think of any others that end in just an -a sound but lots with -ah sound such as [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_m]Judah[/name_m], [name_u]Micah[/name_u], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] etc.

Thanks! I actually have a son called [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] already, so love that suggestion! And I really love [name_u]Misha[/name_u] too. I have been thinking about alternative endings that sound like an ‘a’, like ‘ah’ or ‘er’, so welcome others along these lines too.
