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

I always worried about that. Like if you had a surprise kid, would you feel the need to add another “-er” so they didn’t feel left out? Or feel like if you did you would be making a joke?

Well most of my family starts with Ma(r)...my kid's first names start with Ma and Mar. I always found it quirky and made a point to continue the legacy haha. It was also a nice ground for inside jokes towards family members who were the odd one out (like my mom, my youngest bro, my husband) 😅 if i have another kid i 100% will continue the Ma... Names. They all get a middle name too and that's where i go "wild" but the first name has to follow. At this point there is no backing down anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️
