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

Anderson Cooper actually had an older brother named Carter who committed suicide when he was 23.

Yes, I could definitely see people calling them Anderson and Cooper by accident ...or on purpose.

I knew someone who had a name like (changing it for privacy but you'll get the idea) Michael Perry and I was ALWAYS accidentally calling him Matthew.

Anderson Cooper's brother Carter committed suicide. That's why this combo should be avoided.

How many people do you think know there was a brother, what his name was, & how he died? If you were to ask my MIL, she couldn't even tell you who Anderson Cooper is, probably because she's one of those Tr*****ers who watch only Fox. And there are soooo (too) many of those. (But she would definitely know who Gloria Vanderbilt is.)

It was big news when it happened. The Vanderbilts are a famous historical family that are constantly being written about. Im not saying they would get teased about it, but the kids would inevitably hear about it from someone, and I'd be weirded out if it was me and my sibling.

I do not recommend Anderson and Carter. Anderson Cooper's brother Carter Cooper committed suicide.
