Looking for unusual A names

jetta · February 18, 2015, 10:23am

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries,
We have decided we would like to choose an A name for the daughter we are expecting. So I’m looking for suggestions of A names that are a bit unusual.
I love [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Arianna[/name_f], [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], but they are all very popular where we live. I also love [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] but it has already been used by a close friend.

I’d prefer to stay clear of invented names and I tend not to like those modern ex-surname names that are currently popular (e.g. [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u])

The only one we are currently considering is [name_f]Adelina[/name_f]/[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]. But I’m not sure it feels right.

Any suggestions would be very welcome
Thank you
