Baby Noy Names Starting with Letter "A"

Personally, I'd skip Aiden unless you're okay with your son going through life as one of fifty million Aidens, not to mention it'll rhyme with Jayden, Brayden, Caidyn, etc. which are all popular and plentiful...and when the name is called out, over half his class will turn their heads and say "what"?

Those are both great names! Please skip Aiden (or any other spelling of that name). There are so many of them and it became popular from Sex and The City so that is pretty lame.

I read an article that said to think about your child interviewing for a job, and don't give a name that is common. It's better to have a name that stands out on a resume.
Addison
Abbott
Adrian
I'm stumped but there's a few.

When you name your child think about the fact that they aren't going to be a cute little baby forever. This baby is going to be a grown boy then a man.
Go with something solid like Adam, Andrew, or Anthony. You don't want him to sound too girly and you don't want him getting beaten up on the playground. Just a thought. :)

I love Alexander, Avery and Asher. If we had a boy it would have been Alexander. My husband thought Avery and Asher were a little bit wussy. Unless you love Aiden, don't do it. 'Tis very popular and will probably wind up sounding dated. Other ideas: Alec, Aubrey, Austen, August... I can't think of many others that start with A. Congratulations and good luck :)

Ashton, Ayden, Austin, Andy, Allen, and Adam

I love the name Andrew. I wanted to name my oldest son Andrew Scott, but our last name begins with S...so his initials would have spelled A.S.S. We went with Jeffery Scott, naming him after a long time friend of my husband's, who's name is Jeff and he's part Scottish.

Hello. I happen to have a love of older names & very nontraditional names. On my husbands side: One of his Grandfathers was named: Alder (All-der) Adler Raymond (Not really sure why they just switched up the first few letters of his first two names, but the man was French Canadian)

On my side: I have a Great Uncle Alton ( I love this name!)

And then there is Aric (Sounds just like "Eric") I love this one too!!!

Hi! I used to live in Tyler and still visit often! My oldest son's name is Aaron. It is common enough to not stand out , but not overused. I would steer clear fom some of the names suggested that have a feminine ring to them. As a mom of 2 boys, I know they will not like their name as they get older if it"sounds like a girl name." Congratulations and good luck!

We're expecting our third boy, and the first two have vowel names, so we've been going through "A" names recently too (our first two are Alex and Owen). The names that really stood out for me were Asher and Anders. (We ended up going with Ian, however, so we wouldn't have two A names and only one O name.) Have fun!

Alec, Aiden, Addison

My boys' names are Ayden and Adam. Ayden is definitely pretty popular now, but it really hasn't been an issue for us. We still love the name, and we only know of one other Aidan in his whole elementary school (which is huge). If you like the name, I wouldn't worry about it; he'll make it his own! My husband's name is Andy. We were thinking of Alex Andrew (instead of Alexander something -- I'm not a big fan of naming kids something you have no intention of actually calling them! ha) for both boys, but ended up not using it although I still really like it. We used it for our 3rd... her name is Zoë Alexandra! Good luck!

My 2 year old DS is named Anders.

I like Aiden and Andrew(Andy). Alex is cute, too!

My little ones name is "AIDEN". It can be spelled different ways from what I saw in a baby book. You can spell it the way I have it , & some people spell it "AIDAN" & even "AYDAN". It's a name I like alot.

Being this name is a popular name I wanted my baby to have a nickname he can also be called by . So we gave him the middle name James. So he goes by A.J. also. This way if & when the time comes in school or any where else someone has the same name he can choose to have his Nickname used.

Alan, Allan, Allen, Alex, Andrew, Anthony, Adam, Alphonse, Albert, Arron, Abner, Alden, Ambrose, Andy, Armand, Arnold, Ash, Avery, Austin

My new grandson's name is Austin.

I wanted to same thing. When i picked the name for my children i didnt hear either one very much but when they started school i heard a lot of my daughters name. So there initials are exactly the same. I have and Ashley Ranae and Anthony Reed. There are not many Anthony's out there but a lot of Ashley's. The thing with the name Anthony is they can go by Tony. Everyone always asks me of he goes by Tony. I always tell them that when he gets older if he wants to go by Tony then he is more than welcome to but right now it is Anthony.

Ashton, Adriel, Axel

Ainsley,Andrew.Anson and Ashby

That's a toughie, but you have gotten some great suggestions! Here's one I like that I didn't see mentioned - Axton. My husband is Anthony Joel, but everyone calls him A.J. Good luck!

Our son's name is Austin. We call him Awesome Austin!

How about - Anderson (Andy)

How about Andrew or Adam. The Hospitals used to give a booklet with list of name and its origin as well as meaning. You may want to check.

Best wishes!

I like Alex and Aaron. Adam is a favorite of mine but my hubby hated it. Some other ones I can think of are Anthony, Archer, Asher, Austin, and Ashton.

My son's name is Austin and I also very much like Andrew.

Arthur, Adam, Avery, Anthony, Augustine

My grandsons name is Ayden. My husbands grandfather was named Amatore. I loved it and wanted to use it. but hubby said no. It is italian.

My son's name is Alexander...I love it now. At first I wasn't too keen of it. But like you it was the ONLY name my husband and I could agree on. We also went back and forth with Andrew, but I didn't like the nickname Andy...So I was very pleased with Alexander...with it he can go by many nicknames, Alex (which is what everyone calls my son, except for me), AJ (our lastname starts with a J), Xander, Xman....Quite honestly I loved the name Zander but my husband didn't, and I expected myself to call him that, but I find myself always using his full name...anyway wish you luck. Let us know what you choose!!

Aaron, expect spelled Airen ?
FYI, August is German heritage

Asher is on our list. :) We'll be 27 weeks along tomorrow. You could also consider Anderson, Addison (sometimes used with girls too) or Andrew or Andreas?

Good luck!!
