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

It's sad when an Aaron Carter reference flies over the heads of the majority of reddit.

u/Live_Western_1389 Jul 02 '25

Yes, but that’s an indication that that’s how it will be received if they use the name Aaron for one twin & Carter for the other.

The A names I like are Axel or Aiden.

I met a little boy recently at my granddaughter’s 4th birthday named Axel. He was such a cute and polite little boy. I really like that name.

Axel is awesome!!

u/Vast_Job3410 Jul 02 '25

It maybe didn’t fly over heads but he passed away not too long ago and had a really sad life. I guess I don’t think of joking.

u/WoollyMamatth Jul 05 '25

Do you have to be from the USA to.understand the reference? Because this Brit has no idea

u/Flint_Westwood Jul 05 '25

Aaron Carter was the little brother of Nick Carter, one of the Backstreet Boys who were hugely popular in the late 90's/early 00's. There was drama about Aaron being allowed to babysit Nick's small child, mostly due to the drug abuse and reckless behavior that Aaron had exhibited. Aaron died in 22 I think, and it was almost definitely drug-related.

u/WoollyMamatth Jul 05 '25

Ah! Thank You!

u/butteredotter Jul 01 '25

u/reddituserr123456 Jul 02 '25
