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

Congrats on your girl, I am on girl #5 myself + 1 boy.

Adelyn sounds pretty and I think I liked it the best, but I did not dislike any of them, here are a few more: Annalise, Allison, Addison, Aubrey, Aryn, Anna, Aislyn, are all great A names I have heard (or used) as of late.

Good luck!

How about Annika? I think Annika Marie sounds very nice and goes well with the other girls names.

Wow 7 girls! I have 4 sisters, and I thought that was a lot. Well I have a similar situation, I need an A name as well, I have a girl due in 5 wks. I only have one daughter, Angelica Desirae, so of course I would suggest that name, I think Angelica Maria sounds cute. Out of the name you have listed I think I like Audrey and Arabella the best. Other suggestions maybe Amaya, Ariel, Alicia. The only ones that I can come up with for myself are Alysia or Ava, but still not too sure about either one, plus I need a middle name that goes with both names. I feel so bad I still just can't find a name for my little girl :( Good luck deciding on a name!

I was just reading through, and don't really have any new suggestions. But I wanted to say that Audra/Audrey is my favorite from your list, and that there is a Saint Audrey. :)
