We’re travelling through the alphabet in search of name perfection, and the very first stop might be your lucky last. We’ve unearthed some beautiful girl names starting with A.
Maybe the letter A stands out because there’s a history of A names in the family, or because there are just So. Many. Options. There’s offerings that are popular and familiar like Ava and Amelia, then there are those that will raise an eyebrow like Adaire and Atari.
Whatever your taste, we’ve dived headfirst into the ABCs of baby-naming to find the most beautiful and unique monikers for girls that start with the 1st letter of the alphabet. We asked the huge online Mum’s Grapevine community to share their favourites and they didn’t disappoint.
