What is your favorite names ever??

Ever since I announced my pregnancy, the two questions I've been asked most frequently are "Is it a boy or a girl?" and "Do you have any name picked out yet?"

The answer to the first question is easy. We'll find that out soon enough. But for the second question, I don't really have any inkling toward any English/American names yet. The Vietnamese names will be Thien-An (if it's a boy) which means "Blessing from Heaven" & Bao-An (for a girl), meaning "Most precious blessing" - for that is exactly what this baby means to us!

All I know is that I want to give him/her a normal, meaningful is a plus, but not too common name, so that there won't be 4 or 5 kids with the same name on his/her class, but it's not too unique/strange that can cause him/her being picked on by his/her peers.

Since their Vietnamese name starts with the letter A, it'll be great if their English names can also start with A. This way, he/she would have the same initial AHN

Any suggestions? Do you mind sharing a few of your all-time favorite names with us? It can be anything, doesn't necessarily have to start with A One for boy & one for girl, please?

My fave names are Layla, Beth for a girl. Daniel for a boy. it doesn't match your desired letters, but since I'm too ancient for kids, those are the names I would have used. I love the Vietnamese names you chose. One of my BFF's is Asian and chose an Anglo first name and Chinese middle name for her daughter. I think it's beautiful.

Avery is a pretty name for a girl. My cousin is Ahren and it, also, is a pretty name for a boy.

Best of luck to you and enjoy your pregnancy :) Can't wait to meet the little one!

Girl "A" names - Analiese or Annaleis (Anna-lees is how it's pronounced) - means grace and favor, Adrienne (rich, wealthy, dark one - our Aunt Adrienne was petite, dark French Canadian lady, a teacher and a good, honest and true-hearted person though never wealthy), Adelle (noble kind, adorned)

Boy "A" names, there's always Andrew, Anton or Anthony, Alexander - lots of "An" boy names!

For a girl, I also like Avery - also Annabelle, Anne, Abigail, Alison (Allison, Allyson), Alice.

I like Olivia, Sydney and Emily for girls.

I just met someone named Carter; I liked it. Can be a boy or girl name.

My next boy dog will be Peyton but that's all because I'm a colts fan :)

I have a friend that named her son Peyton. She was upset with me for naming my dog Zoee because she wants to name a girl that. I told her she still can. LOL

"A" names I like are:
Girl: Avery, Ainsley, Aubrey

Boy: Andrew, Aaron (my grandfathers name:)), Alex(ander)

I can't wait to find out what you are having and to see the little person. :)
