My husband and I are expecting our 3rd child, we have 2 girls Alyssa and Alayna. I always knew that if I ever had a boy, I would name him Trenton James ( my hubby is James Franklin Hall III). James Franklin IV was never an option for me. If I have another girl, what will I name her? It has to start with A and I would like the name to have an L and/or Y in it. Any suggestions are welcome.

What can I do next?

We just named our daughter Lilia Annelise. Annelise is a combo of Anne and Elizabeth so together it means graciously pledged or promised to God. You can always play with the spelling to add your y. Good luck!

My name is A. Mariae-Delphine (pronounced Dell-pheen-ay.)
I personally like it (:
I had a million different names to consider for my daughter: Ayjay, Avrilla, Aville, Anashae, Arianni, Arianna, Adelina, Artisan, Aadi, Abrielle, Aria (I decided it was too close to my name, though), Alessandra (female version of the great Alessandro Scarlatti, Italian composer!), Alessa, Ambra, Andolina, Adrina, Antoinella, Aradia, and Annunciata (pronounced Ah-noon-chi-awta).
They're all Italian. My family wanted that flowing, accented sound to it, but that's just us. (: I hope I could help a bit. Good luck and congratulations :D

answers from Albany on

If you go to www.babycenter.com and go to the baby namer, you can put in you are looking for a girls' name that starts with "a" and ends with "a" if you want since both of the other girls do as well. You can even put in for it to be 3 syllables like your daughters' names now are. I knew a woman who had three girls and their names were Anissa (you could make the "i" a "y"), Amaya, and I want to say "Ayla" but now I can't remember the youngest one's name. If our oldest had been a girl, his name was going to be Aryana (Arianna but spelt differently).

I like Alise, or Alyse. But that's kind of close to Alyssa. You could do Alizabeth, and use the different spelling. But she would spend her whole life correcting people. :) There's Abigail, Adrienne, Ansley.
