Girl Name Help!

Looking for some name help. Just found out we are having a girl and are super excited! Only issue is that we cannot seem to agree on a name. Our main issue is that we would like to pick a name that starts with the letter “A” but the ones we do like are already being used by someone in our immediate family. My DH is set on Ariel & Alessandra – I do not like Ariel and Alessandra is a derivative of my name and not sure how I feel naming my kid after myself. I like Anna but he doesn’t like it. Middle name will be Cecile. We need something of a Latin root since our families are Italian & Spanish and we wouldn’t want it to sound awkward when they pronounce it in their language.

Names we can’t use:
Ariana
Alessia
Andrea
Adriana
Angela/Angelina

Re: Girl Name Help!

We're naming our daughter Ava.

Also a big fan of Adelina, which is my adopted friend's birth name... and therefore off limits for me since she hopes to one day use it for her daughter.

Alana or Alannah
Alicia (But I like it pronounced Uh-lees-e-uh rather than Uh-leesh-uh)
Aurelia
Arabella
Alaina
Annelise or Annalise

ETA: I have no idea about the origin of these names, I just think they're pretty!

Abigail was one of our favorites when trying to name DD2.
I wouldn't worry about names being used in the family - all DH's Italian cousins have the same names because of tradition of naming after grandparents. Even if you pick a unique name, you can't stop someone else from using it later.

We needed an A name to go with Lucille, similar to Cecille, so we named our daughter Ava.
