I think a french sounding name that ends in a -ie or -lie sound would fit in really well with my other girls' names (if this one turns out to be girl #3).
Just to give you an idea... something like Jolie, Angelie,... that kind of sound but not those names. I do like Angelie but I'm trying to avoid two A names.
Any ideas???

I love Matisse. I know it's a surname but I've seen it used for a girl's name; very pretty.
I love Angelie too. I wouldn't worry about having two 'A' names.

I like Rosalie, but I love the NN Rosa or Rosie or even just Rose.
Some beautiful names there. I'll have to think about it more. I think I still like Angelie best 
So how bad would it be to have two A names. Alexis gets NN Lexi most of the time anyway.

I went to school with a Celie. It's think it's meant to be pronounced Say-lee which I think is really pretty, however her name was Australianised very early and she was called Sealey.
Oh and I don't think two A names is a problem.
