We are expecting a son this fall and are starting to think about names. [name_f]My[/name_f] wife prefers to have the middle name [name_m]Preston[/name_m] (it’s a family name) so that seems set. If we go with that I’d prefer a name starting with A, so we would share initials. [name_f]My[/name_f] top choice is [name_u]Asher[/name_u], but she is not sold.
Others I like are:
[name_m]Archibald[/name_m] ([name_m]Archie[/name_m])
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
I love the name [name_u]Asher[/name_u]. Then, in order, [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Archie[/name_m], [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] “[name_m]Archie[/name_m]” and [name_m]Adrian[/name_m].
Have you looked at [name_u]Asa[/name_u], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] or [name_u]Ashby[/name_u]?
My favourites would be either [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Preston[/name_m], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m] or [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m].
Welcome to Nameberry! I think both of you need to love, or at least really like the name chosen, so I would keep looking. I love [name_m]Archie[/name_m] on your list. It is sturdy but friendly. I really like the suggestion of August with the nickname Gus as well. Some of my favourite ‘A’ names are:
