So the other day we were chatting with DH’s stepdad who has not children of his own . He and DH are very close and DH has mentioned wanting to honour him in some way when we have kids.
Stepdad mentioned that in his family all the children’s middle names start with an ‘A’. I think it would be lovely to continue this with our children. His middle name is [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] which I actually really love.
What A names do you like for both boy and girl middle names?
I really like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_u]Arya[/name_u] and from my own list I’ve got [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Astra[/name_f], [name_f]Aria[/name_f] and [name_f]Alcina[/name_f] (love the meaning as well). For boys I only have [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] (probably too [name_m]OTT[/name_m]), [name_m]Adalius[/name_m], and [name_u]August[/name_u], but I really like [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]!
I like a lot of your girl A names, especially [name_f]Aine[/name_f]! But I’m biased seeing as it’s my name
I seem to like a lot of names beginning with A …
Aila
[name_u]Ailbhe[/name_u]
[name_f]Ailsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Althea[/name_f]
[name_f]Anwen[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_f]Asteria[/name_f]
[name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_f]Aveline[/name_f]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is a big favourite and will probably go in the middle for our first son. I’m still pretty short on A names I love for boys but I have loads for girls. I’m really liking [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] (as a twist on family name [name_f]Angela[/name_f] ) and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (which I just think sounds/ looks pretty).
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], and [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f]. For boys, I like [name_u]Aidan[/name_u], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] and especially [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].
