in Baby Names
Hello ladies! We are team green, and having a hard time deciding on names, seriously. We have 3 boys Justin, Charlie, and Marshall. For a boy we are decided on Arian...I need a middle name! I'm in love with the name Ansley for a girl, but the hubs hates it. I'm looking for "A" girl names so we can call this baby, Baby "A"! I do like Addison and Arabella, but I feel like they are sooo common. I want different but not crazy that she will want to disown me when she is old enough (at least not disown me for her name)!

    I also saw Arian and immediately thought of Aryans and Hitler. :( I agree Adrian would be a better option. Oliver is great too.

    I have never met an Arabella; I don't think it's common at all. Definitely less popular than any of your sons' names. SSA says it was #210 in 2013 but it does look like it has climbed fast since it entered the top 1000 in 2005.

    I like Amalia, Amaryllis, Aurelia or Aurora.

    Arian is out! I didn't even think of that when picking the name! I actually saw the name on a black football player and I loved it! Coming from a mixed family, it is gone! Thank you all for your input!

    No on Arian.  Too close to Aryan.  How about Ariel (nn Ari) or Aaron or Adrian?  (oh, just saw that you took Arian out - good choice). 

    For girls, I dislike Addison, but like Arabella better.  Other suggestions: Amelie, Adrienne, Althea, Athena, Alexandra/dria,

    I'm biased, but we're using Audrey for our baby girl, so that's my favorite A name right now. I also love Allison (my sister's name) and Alma, for something a bit different.

    So glad you kicked Arian out of the running! I agree it has a nice sound to it but the racist association is just wayyyy too much. 

    What about Adrian, Adam, or Able? I know Adam seems really common but it you rarely ever hear it now and it's such a classic strong name. 

    For a girl I like Ariadne, Astrid, Alice, Adele, Annika, and Anna. These are all less common than Addison or Arabella, except for maybe Anna. Ariadne is currently a favorite of mine - pronounced air-ee-ad-nee. It's not too out there and is a real classic choice with meaning.

    I don't think they're your style based on your other names, but there are so many beautiful A Italian names, like Ariana (or Arianna), Adriana, Alessandra, and lots more!

    I love Alessa or Alena for girl A names.

    Alessa is the girl from silent hill so it got shot down quick here lol!

    I like Alice and Ava for girls too.

    For middle names I think something classic works best so like Michael, James, Joseph, etc.
