The letter "A".

[bree019.livejournal.com]

What are some of your favorite girl names that start with the letter "A"? My favorite was Audrey, but I can't get past the negative feelings for it due to someone I disliked years ago. I also like Addison, but our last name ends in "son", so that's a no-go.

Why "A", you ask? I think it has a delightfully feminine quality, and I prefer more feminine names for girls.

TIA!

Audra. I actually prefer it to Audrey. I've only heard it once before, on a girl I went to gradeschool with.

I'm also contractually required to vote for Adrienne, as it is my name.

I was going to suugest Audra, as well. It's close to Audrey, without being Audrey (plus, it's the wife's name in It, and I just finished reading that book again, so it's stuck in my head)

I've never heard of the book It. but I knew the Audra in gradeschool well before I ever encountered the name Audrey, so it came as a surprise that that was the more common and popular version. I think it sounds too "little girl" and that Audra would age better.

It is a Stephen King novel, it was made into a TV movie in the early 90s, as well. It's a long book (nearly 1100 pages!) but is a really scary book, as well as being really well written. Gory bits aside, the story of 7 outcasts in the late 50's forming a team could be a really touching tale in itself. The killer clown with the ability to change to the kids' greatest fears is just really creepy gravy.
