      ASTRID. Norse, ‘divinely beautiful’. Familiar Scandinavian royal name that never really took off the way Ingrid did. Assi, Astra, Astri, Astrida, Astride, Astrik, Astrud, Astryr, Atti, Estrid.

      ATALANTA. Greek mythology name. Beautiful mythological maiden who refused to marry any man who couldn’t beat her in a foot race – some role model! Atalaya, Atlanta, Atlante, Atlee.

      

ATARA, ATARAH. Hebrew, ‘crown’. Finally, an attractive, undiscovered Old Testament choice for girls. Ataree, Atera, Ateret.

      ATHALIA. Hebrew, ‘the Lord is exalted’. Old Testament king’s wife with a gory history. You don’t want to know – and you probably don’t want to name your kid after her either. Atalee, Atalia, Atalie, Atha, Athalee, Athalie, Attalie.

      ATHENA. Greek mythology name. The name of the daughter of Zeus who was the goddess of wisdom and fertility could appeal to enlightened parents who particularly prize intelligence. Athenais, Athene, Athenea, Athie, Athina, Atina, Attie.

      ATLANTA. Place name. In the US, Georgia and Savannah are popular, but Atlanta’s just entering the baby-name map.

      

ATLANTIS. Place name. Mythical wonderland makes strong, evocative first name.

      

AUBREY. English from French, ‘elf ruler’. This unisex name is moving up the popularity charts, along with the revived Audrey. Aubary, Auberon, Aubery, Aubray, Aubrea, Aubreah, Aubree, Aubreigh, Aubrette, Aubreyana, Aubreyanna, Aubreyanne, Aubreyena, Aubria, Aubriana, Aubrianna, Aubrianne, Aubrie, Aubry, Aubury, Avery.

      

AUBURN. Colour name. Could be the next Amber, or Scarlett.

      

AUDEN. English ‘old friend,’ literary name. Softly poetic surname name enjoying quiet but marked fashion status. This will definitely be one to watch during the next few years. Aud, Auda, Aude, Audine, Audny.

      AUDREY. English, ‘noble strength’. Saint’s name rising again thanks to reverence for the eternally radiant Audrey Hepburn. Adrey, Audey, Audi, Audie, Audra, Audray, Audre, Audrea, Audreanne, Audree, Audreen, Audria, Audriana, Audrianna, Audrianne, Audrie, Audrienna, Audrienne, Audrin, Audrina, Audriya, Audry, Audrye, Audy.

      

AUGUST. Latin, ‘majestic, venerable’; month name. Though associated traditionally (and fashionably) with boys, it has been used occasionally for girls as well – by Garth Brooks, for one.

      AUGUSTA. Latin, feminine form of AUGUSTUS. Dignified name reminiscent of wealthy great-aunts, but with the fashion for August and Gus for boys, it could get some fresh energy. Agusta, August, Auguste, Augustia, Augustina, Augustine, Augustus, Augustyna, Augustyne, Austina, Austine, Austyna, Austyne, Gus, Gussie, Gusta, Tina. International: Augusteen (Irish).

      AURA. Latin, ‘air’. This name has an otherworldly glow. Aure, Aurea, Auria, Oria.

      AURELIA. Latin, ‘gold’. Richly evocative antique name, very common in the Roman Empire but rarely heard in modern Britian, has the right stuff to rise again. Aranka, Aural, Auralee, Auralei, Auralia, Aurea, Aureal, Aurel, Aurele, Aurelea, Aurelee, Aureliana, Aurellana, Aurelle, Aurelina, Aurelle, Auria, Aurie, Aurilia, Aurita, Ora, Oralia, Orel, Orelee, Orelia.

      AURORA. Latin, ‘dawn’. Poetic name of the Roman goddess of sunrise and of Sleeping Beauty, sure to make any little girl feel like a princess. Arora, Ora, Ori, Orie, Rora, Rory, Zora, Zorica. International: Aurore (French).

      

AUSTEN. Shortened form of AUGUSTINE, literary surname. While Austin is a popular boys’ name, this version, honouring novelist Jane, is more girlish. Austin, Austine, Austyn, Austynn.

      AUSTRIA. Place name. Interesting, appealing, unexplored geographic destination.

      AUTUMN. Season name. Crisp and colourful, this is the most popular season name, now rivalled only by the sunnier Summer.

      

AVA. Latin, ‘like a bird’. Glamour girl name given big popularity boost – when several high-profile stars such as Reese Witherspoon and Hugh Jackman chose it for their daughters. Aeva, Aiva, Avada, Avae, Avah, Ave, Aveen, Avis, Eva.

      

AVALON. Celtic, ‘island of apples’. Island paradise of Celtic myth and Arthurian legend makes heavenly first name. Avallon.

      

AVERILL. English. April with a unisex surname twist. Averil, Averille, Averyl, Avril, Avrill.

      

AVERY. English, ‘ruler of the elves’. Though this unisex name has been around for a few decades, it’s just starting to become hot for girls, thanks to its distinctively feminine lilt. Aivree, Avari, Avary, Averi, Averie, Avori, Avory, Avry.
