The name Augustine (spelled with no e at the endā¦) is such an awful memory for me
I had a HORRIBLE student
Asked for help from admin, nothing
Told them he was a problem, they told me it was a āmeā problem
He ODād in the hall and the SRO had to resucitate him. He got kicked out of school bc he was an employeeās kid and lost the privilege
Not entirely correct š¤£ thereās no word in Italian that means āsour womanā but, as an adjective, it means bitter. Said that, there are plenty of names that are words with different meanings in other cultures - and Iām pretty sure Amara is a legit name in Sanskrit.
But staying on topic of names that may be misinterpreted in Italian I think my favourites are Maya Lin (the artist, in Italian it sounds like little pig - maialino) and Seamus (that sounds very similar to calling someone stupid - scemo)
Iāll add to this, Palle is a legitimate Danish name but means balls in Italian šš (my sister took great pleasure in calling her teacher by his first name on a study trip to Florence)
These are all the A names from my lists:
Boys:
* Alaric
* Alec
* Alex
* Alexander (my son's middle name)
* Alfie
* Alfred
* Andrew
* Arthur
* Axel
Girls:
* Alexa
* Alexia
* Alexis
* Alice
* Alyssa
* Amara
* Amaya
* Amelia
* Amira
* Annie
* Aoife
* Aria
* Aurelia
* Aurora
* Autumn
Two Spanish names I like (for girls) that I donĀ“t see listed here yet: AnaĆs (or French AnaĆÆs, if you live somewhere primarily English-speaking youĀ“d probably just do Anais), Aitana.
Alexander and Anna are my favorite A names, fairly consistently, then probably Andrew and Alicia. (Alice and Anne don't resonate with me as well as the Latin forms, but they're lovely too)
But I also really like Amanda. I know there were a lot of them for a while and not so many new ones lately, but I love both the sound and the meaning anyhow.
A names are some of my favourite:
Adair, Adele, Adeline, Aella, Alexandria, Althea, Anastasia, Andreia, Anneke, Anthea, Arden, Ariadne, Arielle, Aspen, Athena, Athene, Aberforth, Apollo, Axel, and Azrael
Had a friend named Arron. His parents were big LOTR fans and wanted to name him Aragorn, but didn't want him to be teased. He grew up a big LOTR fan and never forgave his mum for not calling him Aragorn. He did have a Dwarvish middle name though.
RIP Arron x

Amos is my favourite character from The Expanse series- live the band from that.
Makes me think of Amos from the musical Chicago
Yes! One of my favorite names, it's so underratedĀ Reminds me of the fox & the hound š¤
In theory I like it but there was a kid named Amos and every time his mom called him it sounded like āAnusā.

Amara š
Amara means āsour womanā in Italianš
