**********************
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 :). The French feminine form of Ariel.
