Baby Noy Names Starting with Letter "A"

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.

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!

I had a friend in high school named Arick I think it may have been spelled Aaryck, I thought that was a pretty cool way of spelling the name.

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"?

Ainsley,Andrew.Anson and Ashby

I have an Alexander Jasiah!

i love alexander
i also like art.

Anthony, Andrew, Austin, Ashton, Aaron, Avery, August

My boys are Alexander and Anthony!
Other 'A' names we like are Asher, Andrew, Avery, Abram, Adam, Adrian, Austin

I like Ace,or Austin, or even Augustine

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!!

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

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!!

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.

Arthur, Adam, Avery, Anthony, Augustine

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

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.

alex,allen,austin,andrew,adam, and adrian is a great one and can be spelled adrion. hope this helps

Aiden is cute! I like Alex a lot as well. Andrew has always been a favorite of mine.

My nephews are Anderson and Ayson (their sister is Addison). Anderson is 10 and has never been called Andy, but that could be an option. We call Ayson "Ace". He was almost named Anson. Congratulations and good luck choosing a name!

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!

A.

Here are my other favorites that I didn't see listed:
Abel or Abe
Axel

How about - Anderson (Andy)

Aspen, Ansel, Asahel, Anders...

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

My son's name is Aiden. It's an Irish name that means "little fire". He was actually conceived in Ireland on a vacation, so we thought it was a great name! My daughter's name, who is the older sister, also starts with an A. It's very fun! Hope you find something you like.

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.

aaron is my absolute favorite boys name let alone a name that starts with a

Have you considered Aiden or Avery (even though this is my daughter's name, I've been told numerous times that it is a boy's name) or Allistair or what about Aarden....maybe you 've already thought of these. Good luck with your search, the reaminder of your pregnancy and all the funt iems ahead!

Alden - means old friend or protector

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.

My new grandson's name is Austin.

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

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.

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

Aiden - Little Fire (Irish) (Gaelic)
Aric - Diminutive Form of Ari or Ariel (Hebrew) (Norse) Eternal Ruler (Germanic) Honorable Ruler - Also the Name of the Prince in the Disney Movie "The Little Mermaid".
Anson - Son of A. (Agnes) (English)

These were the only three A names my husband and I liked in the end we chose Aric when we saw his face.

My 2 year old DS is named Anders.

We were going to name my oldest daughter Aiden but then she turned into a girl...lol! We were going to spell it Aden which is a root of the name Adam which is my husbands name!

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!

i like Andrew , Adrian and Alex...

Alec, Aiden, Addison

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!

Ansel
Alden
Adam
Alistair
Adrian
Anthony
Andreas
Avery
Albert
Asa
Addison
Allan
Andre
Avery
Arthur
Anton
Augustin

I used the A names as well!!! Alec, Andrea and Adam (short and sweet we have a long last name). We had agreed on Alexander for our oldest but our last name is so long I shortened it to Alec (plenty of Alexander's in his class but he is the only Alec).

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!!!

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.

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

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 :)

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. :)

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!

Ashton, Adriel, Axel

Aidan, Anthony and Andrew are nice
