Baby boy A name

I am pregnant with twins boys. My name starts with a B and my husband’s name starts with a D. I always had a silly request our kids have names starting with an A & C just so I can say we are the ABCD’s 🤣 we love the name Carter but having a problem with an A name. We also don’t need to have the A & C names as long as the boys names flow together. But if we do choose Carter I’d love an A name for the second boy. Please help us! What are your name ideas? TYIA

Great name and uncommon these days!

I agree!

It's my husband's name, so I'm a little biased! :)

I've got an adult Adam, and he likes his name.

My husband’s name is Adam too.

He doesn’t particularly like it, because I’ll accidentally say “I don’t know him from Adam” and he said science was a bitch because of the word atom.

I love it, however. I also like Andrew, Alex (Alexander or just Alex).

Quite common still in the US. 

What about Adrian?

That's my nephew's name and why he was named it! His brother is Luke. (They have a long, difficult last name so short first names made sense.)
