Seventh Girl needs an "A" name! HELP!

We have a problem. I am due in 2 weeks with Baby #9. I have two sons (Nick and Paul) and six daughters. With the girls I started a tradition - all their names begin with "A" and they all have the middle name "Maria" (yes, we are Catholic:0))

The girls are Ariana, Ave, Anastasia, Alessandra, Amelia and Abigail.

I would really like to name this new girl something with any letter BUT an "A" (I'm really tired of A names...), but the girls will not let me! They say she will feel left out. The problem is there aren't any "A" names left that I really love. We can't use Ashley, Amber, or Amanda which are names of cousins or Andrea (my name), so don't suggest those.

Here is a list of possibilities. I'm not crazy about any of them, but I have to choose one. My question is which is your favorite and are there any that you think are absolutely terrible? Thanks for your help!

Adara Maria
Adelaide Maria
Adelaine Maria
Adeline Maria
Adelyn Maria
Adrienne Maria
Alivia Maria
Amara Maria
Ansley Maria
Alanna Maria
Aliza Maria
Angela Maria
Anthea Maria
Arabella Maria
Audrey Maria

Andrea

Mom to Nicholas, Ariana, Paul, Ave, Anastasia, Alessandra, Amelia, Abigail and Angelina

From your list, Audrey is my clear favorite. I really love it and while I like a number of the names on your list, I think Audrey stands out the most with your girls. Some of the others are just too close to names you've already used (Alanna seems too close to Alessandra for example).

I also really like Angela, Adalaide and Adeline.

The only name I really dislike is Aliza. I love Eliza, but this spelling makes me cringe. All of your other children have correctly spelled names, so I wouldn't start with the creative spellings now.

Good luck choosing!

I've always liked that name (esp. since I love old Bread songs), but my husband doesn't like it:-( Thanks!

Do most of your girls go by nicknames?

Hi. I really like Adelyn - I haven't seen this one before and it caught my eye. I think it goes well with your other girls. I like Ainsely as well, but as PP said, maybe doesn't fit as well with the other girls.
HTH!

My FIRST choice on your list.......Alanna Maria.

However, I just named my baby girl, Angelina (little angel) so I have a preference for THAT "A" name!
