Got myself tightly constrained - help!

Good morning! Help needed here. After my second daughter was born, we decided to name her with the same initials as my first DD. How cute that was at the time.....
Since then, I have had 2 more precious children whom we also added to the "mold". Guess what? I'm pregnant, and I just can't break the mold now! The child would feel excluded, LOL. I have run out of cute choices. The names of the kiddies are:

Aleah Brooke
Allison Brittany
Austin Blake
Annika Bailey-Joy

I need a choice for yet another ABS child for both Boys and Girls.

I kind of like the name Aspen for a girl. I'm OK with different names, but not too off the wall for boys. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

I know an All-A family of 5 girls right now (I live where there is an Army base, they are here for for three years) the girls range in age from about 20 down to about 12 - Ashlee, Amanda, Alecia, Abigail, and Amelia (I'm not sure of the order of those final two because I've never met those 2) - I do not know if they have the same middle initial or not

Aspen is different - I've only ever known one - that was years ago she was in my daughter's pre-school class one year (my daughter is 25, so she would be too about by now)

here are some other girl A's I think would fit in with yours

Amber, Aubrey, Adessa, Amelia, Amy, Ashlynn or Ashley - I wouldn't do another Al-starter since you have two of those, so that eliminates Alicia or Alyssa

for boys: Adam, Ashton, Aiden (albeit way too popular), Alden, Andrew, Alex

good luck

Arabella
Avalon
Anneliese
Annabeth
Avril
Aurora
Adelaide
Ainsley
Amelie

If you do find an AB combo you truly love, by all means continue the "pattern," but please don't feel like you HAVE to use a name you don't love so this one won't feel left out. Outsiders may find it odd, but I honestly think a child would prefer to know you outright loved their name, not just thought it was ok and happened to start with the right letter, KWIM? :)


Along those same lines, I'd encourage you NOT to jump the kre8iv spelling bandwagon to try and make a non-A name you do like (such as Olivia, Evangeline or Oscar) fit the mold. So far, all the A names you've used have been valid ones, so Alivia, Avangeline or Ascar pretty much scream "I needed another A but don't really like any!" ... not to mention looking quite odd.


You might also consider reversing the order (giving yourself a few more options). If, for example, there are a few A names you *like* and a handful of Bs you adore, give him/her a BA name! Still the same initials, no matter the order. You might also consider moving on to CD initials -- especially if you might have more children. Again, it still follows your pattern, only further along the line ... ABs AND CD(s)! It's ok to mix it up a bit. ;)


I'll list some of my favorite A names below.


With


Aleah Brooke
Allison Brittany
Austin Blake
Annika Bailey-Joy


I'd be very careful to avoid anything that sounds too similar to any of the others ... Ayla with Aleah, Alice with Allison, etc. As a rule, I left out any Al- or An- names (excepting Angus, which still works IMO ), because many tend to sound too close to the ones you've already used.


Girls:



  • Abigail

  • Araceli

  • Aveline

  • Avalon

  • Ada

  • Adele/Adela/Adelia

  • Adeline/Adelaine/Adelaide

  • Amelia/Amalia

  • Amelie

  • Acacia

  • Audrey/Audra

  • Aisling

  • Aurora

  • Aurelia

  • Amity

  • Aoife

  • Arabella

  • Ariadne

  • Arista

Boys:



  • Adam

  • Adair

  • Abram

  • Avery

  • Adrian

  • Angus

  • Argus

  • Aidan

  • Ambrose

  • Asher

The baby's waking, so I'll come back with some Bs later. ;)
