**********************
Astrid
My favourite A girls name :). In Norse it means divine strength/ divinely beautiful.
*****
Annora
Less heard of than Anna and Annabelle with a more old fashioned feel. In Latin it means Honor.
*****
Alexa
A more fresh and spunky feel than Alexandra a variant meaning “defending men.”
*****
Aspen
With a nature feel for those of us looking to connect our child to the earth. It is both a tree in the Poplar family and a ski resort in Colorado.
*****
Alanis
Probably most famous for the singer, it is the feminine form of Alan meaning cheerful 🙂
*****
Araminta
With many cute nickname options including Minty. This name is of Greek origin and means “defender.”
*****
Aveline
This name is beautiful, with a similar feel to Madelyn and Evelyn it would not be out of place. Of French roots a cognate of Hazel.
*****
Anouk
Another Ann name this one from France. Often mispronounced but very pretty. Meaning “grace”.
*****
Arielle
A pretty elle name beginning with A :). Â The French feminine form of Ariel.

Sophie
Sophie has been present in the top 100 since 1999 where she was sitting at number #9. In 2003 she dropped back to #6 then climbed to  #3 in 2006, #2 in 2001 and lucky number #1 in 2008 & 2009. Will 2010 see her hit number one again or after a decade of sitting in the top ten will it slowly start to fall but still  remain a classic NZ favourite like Olivia, Isabella, Emily, Emma and fish n chips….
Sophie is popular around the world too, New Zealand is not the only country you are bound to hear Sophie being called out in public places. It is number one in Ireland & Scotland too for 2009. It makes the top three in the Netherlands #2, England #3 in 2009. Sophie is #65 in the USA, it entered in 2000 #160 and has risen steadily, jumping from #122 in 2006 to #82 in 2007, in contrast Sophia is #4.
