159.0. "Girls names with A" by EDUHCI::WARREN () Tue Dec 08 1987 13:10

    We're already thinking of possible names for a next child (not on
    it's way).  We have a left-over boy's name, but no girl's name.
     We think we might like one that starts with A.  Our last name is
    Warren.  We'd prefer a Gaelic name, though we're not limiting ourselves
    to that, and a two-syllable name. (The daughter we have now is Caileigh.)
      
    Thanks,

    There's always Angelica or Andrea.  Both are beautiful names.  Good
    luck on your search.  Tommy (My fiance) and I have decided that
    our first girl will be named Cailiegh.  We both loved it when we
    heard it.

159.3"Alyssa, Ariel, Abbie, Ashley...etc"SSDEVO::HILLIGRASSFri Dec 11 1987 12:454
    I like the name "Amanda" which is incidentally going to be the
    name of my baby when it is born in June.....of course if it is
    a girl.

159.7Arianna..39414::VACCARIWed Dec 23 1987 17:583
    My favorite girls name at this time is  Arianna.  I don't know the
    origin; I saw it in a book I was reading one time.  I've decided
    that when I do have a baby and its a girl, I'll name her this.
159.8Alanna31265::SOORENKO_FEFelice SoorenkoMon Dec 28 1987 14:423
    I think Alanna is as Gaelic as you can get with an A name.  It means
    little girl or something like that.  My daughter is named Ilana
    but that is the Hebrew version.
159.9El Gringo The IrishmanFNYFS::AUNGIERWed Dec 30 1987 07:215
    This name is a composition of A meaning a and lanna meaning a child.
    It is the way for refering to a young child but it is a nice name

159.12AnnabellePANIC::DAVEYTue Mar 22 1988 15:069
    I have just discovered this NOTES File, so hope I am not too much
    out of date, but seeing as we were talking about girls names beginning
    with A, I thought I'd join in.  Rather old fashioned, and not very
    common is Annabelle.  I've only known two, one of them was a pet
    possum in New Zealand, and another one is me.  Hmmm.
    
    Not an Irish name though - sorry.

    My second daughter is named Angharad.   She's 9 now and loves her
    "unique" name (it turned out that her sister, Bronwyn, wasn't the
    only "Bronwen" in her grammar school).
    
    Welch names qualify as Gaelic, don't they?
159.15AngharadEDUHCI::WARRENThu Jun 02 1988 15:2421
    
    Re .14:
    
    I like both of your daughters' names.  I thought of Bronwyn before,
    but he doesn't go too well with Warren.  (Try saying Bronwyn Warren
    three times faster; now imagine a kid that hasn't mastered her r's
    yet!)                                        
                                                 
    What does Angharad mean?  Where did you find it?  Any other interesting
    girl's names you came across (not necessarily beginning with A)?
           
    I'd say Welch names qualify as Gaelic.
           
    Thanks,

159.16AlyssaUSRCV1::MACFAWNGMon Jun 06 1988 11:279
    I've always loved names that began with the letter A and ended in
    the same.  When I was pregnant, my husband and I were watching 
    "Who's the Boss".  The real name of the girl who plays Samantha
    is Alyssa.  How perfect.  So when our little girl was born, we 
    decided to name her Alyssa Marie.
    
    How about this one?

159.17TWEED::E_FINKELSENTue Jun 07 1988 12:193
    I like Alyssa Marie.  It's pretty.
    
    How do you pronounce Angharad?
159.18Girl's name to go with WarrenEDUHCI::WARRENWed Jul 20 1988 19:0317
    Well, it's time to start deciding on a name...I'm due with our second
    child in the end of November.  
    
    Our first daughter is Caileigh Ryan Warren.  We have a "leftover"
    boy's name (Bryant Paul Warren), but no idea what we will name a
    second girl.  Ideally, we want a two-syllable name, maybe Gaelic,
    one that goes well with Warren, and one that is as pretty--and
    relatively uncommon--as we think Caileigh is.   
                                                
    Any ideas?
    
    
    -Tracy
    
    BTW, the middle name will probably be Ann (isn't that _everyone's_
    middle name?) after my mother-in-law.

    Tracy - does it have to start with an A?  I always like the names
    
    Bonnie  
    Kelsey
    Carly
    Leah (Jean)
    
    good luck
    
159.20Since I'm easily confusedEDUHCI::WARRENThu Jul 21 1988 20:0618
    Sandy, 
    
    No, it doesn't; in fact, with Ann as a middle name, it might be
    a good idea if it doesn't.  I like all the names you suggested,
    but I think Kelsey, Carly and even Leah are all a little too similar
    to Caileigh.  And Bonnie Warren sounds kind of sing-songy to me.
    (Hey, we're not fussy, are we?)
    
    We prefer two syllables, but it doesn't _have_ to be.  In fact,
    we've considered Page (or Paige), Stephanie, and Brittany (or Britney).
    I think they're all pretty, but none of them feels "just right"
    like Caileigh did.  
                   
    Keep your ideas coming...

159.21How about Amy?BSS::MARAFINEThu Oct 13 1988 14:4411
    Since you asked...
    
    I just got into this file and was curious to see what others had
    named their kids.  I just had a daughter in March and we named
    her Amy Elizabeth.  Didn't name her after anyone in particular...
    just happened to fall in love with the name!
    
    Thought this might go well with Warren.  Good luck!

    This is the author of this base note, written over 16 months ago.
    Well, I've since had another daughter (now 4 months old) and her
    name doesn't start with A, is not Gaelic and is not two syllables
    long.  But, thanks anyway for all your suggestions.

    P.S.  Wondering what we did name her?  See note 375.
