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!

I LOVE Audrey. That is my favorite.
It's different than all of your other girls, yet fits in nicely.
Adelaide would be my second choice.

I'm catholic and an "A" name: Antoinette (nn Toiny)
My
Actually, all our children except one have saint names (and that one is named is Ave Maria, honoring Saint Mary). There are Saints named Ariadne (we used the form Ariana, which means holy one), Anastasia, Amelia, Alexandria (we used the Italian version, Alessandra) and Abigail, believe it or not!
That's a neat reference you linked - I will look the "A" section over!
Andrea
Mom to Nicholas, Ariana, Paul, Ave, Anastasia, Alessandra, Amelia, Abigail and Angelina
I was just wordering how you came up with Ave and who it is pronouced? I think it looks beautiful spelled out.
