Popular Baby Name Alternatives "A"

This series is intended to provide you with an alternative to popular, overused baby names. This series will take you from A-Z. Each time I will give one name for a girl and one name for a boy.

Today we are focusing on Letter A.

Let the fun begin.

Ava is a very popular baby name and is ranked #5 in the top 1,000. Sources are conflicting on what the name Ava means. ( Life, Like a bird, and Iniquity)

A name that I like instead of using Ava is Anya. I think is sounds beautiful and musical. It is ranked #444 in the top 1,000. It means favor and grace.

What a sweet meaning?

Nicknames

If you like nicknames, Anya may not be right for you because it is on the shorter side. But You could use:

An or Ani

Name Combinations:

Anya Marie
Anya Elizabeth
Anya Cherie
Anya Brooklyn
Anya Faith
Anya Faye
Anya Roxanne
Anya Nicole
Anya Sapphire
Anya Torrence

The names that end in the "den" sound have become very popular and Aiden is no exception. It is ranked #12 in the top 1,000. It is a Celtic name meaning fire.

If you are looking for something a little different, I think, Akim is a great alternative. It is not in the top 1,000. It is a Hebrew name meaning God will establish.

Nicknames

Akim doesn't need a nickname but you could always call him "kim" pronounced -Keem.

Name Combinations:

Akim Alexander
Akim Rhys
Akim Elliot
Akim Roosevelt
Lawrence Akim  (It also works great as a middle name.)
