Looking for Boys' Names that fit these Parameters

Boy Names
1

Hello Berries!

Building our list for our hopeful future sons (because it’s way harder for us to agree on those than on girls’ names) and I need boys’ names that fit the following:

  • Starts with A
  • Longer (at least 2-3 syllables)
    -Not Common (preferably out of the US top 200, out of the top 500 is even better)
    -Cannot end in S, Sh, or Z sound (i.e. [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], etc)

A few I’ve found:

[name_m]Aneurin[/name_m]
[name_m]Avidor[/name_m]
[name_f]Arden[/name_f]
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]

Thanks all! :slight_smile:

@elffff Thanks so much! I like [name_m]Almeric[/name_m] and we’ve discussed [name_m]Aurelian[/name_m] before but I may need to bring it up again…he’s vetoed [name_m]Alwyn[/name_m].
@katinka thank you for these! I’ll look up Ardian, [name_m]Artair[/name_m], and Arduin (it sounds like hte river from LOTR) ohhh and [name_m]Avidan[/name_m]! :slight_smile:
@VEL he’s vetoed [name_m]Alastor[/name_m] but several of these I will look up (Asterion, [name_m]Adaiah[/name_m], Ansel) thanks for so many options!
@Greyblue he’s vetoed [name_m]Alcott[/name_m] and [name_m]Arlington[/name_m] is a place name in [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] in the US that’s near enough to us that it would be a bit odd. Thank you for [name_m]Artan[/name_m]!
@EagleEyes Thanks for these! [name_m]Aurelien[/name_m] and [name_m]Alvar[/name_m] are lovely. Probably will add [name_m]Alvar[/name_m] to the list.
@gabhart thanks for so many and the meanings! I like [name_m]Aydemir[/name_m] and [name_m]Arcadian[/name_m]!
@shanade213 [name_m]Alucard[/name_m] is intriguing!
@somemelodioussonnet hmmm Alexavier…

Thanks everyone so much! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] @cms1512 I forgot to come back to this draft I began, hope you don’t mind the late reply!

Very similar to [name_m]Aneurin[/name_m], there is [name_m]Aneirin[/name_m], for which I love the nn [name_m]Nye[/name_m] :green_heart:

[name_m]Algernon[/name_m], already suggested by @VEL but I wanted to add an endorsement :grin: Lots of people are put off by the meaning :man:t2: but it doesn’t really bother me, in fact I quite like it! I have loved this since hearing a little boy being called [name_m]Algie[/name_m] & I arrived at [name_m]Algernon[/name_m] as most likely to be his full name. Though, here in [name_f]England[/name_f], [name_m]Algie[/name_m] could well be the full name.

: - }) )

[name_m]Artigan[/name_m]

Absolom

[name_f]Aberdeen[/name_f] - it’s either a random place name to you, or it could be something special. I absolutely love the sound of this and think it would be a great person name.

[name_m]Aurian[/name_m] - I spotted this in the credits of a film the other day. That’s where I found my son’s name (Beck) incidentally!
