I'm looking for suggestions for middle names that start with the letter A for our baby girl. We are 97% set on her first name being Elliot/Elliott, (spelling TBD). Our last name starts with the letter P, is 10 letters long and has a lyrical, Italian sound to it.
So far DH has vetoed April 
Adrienne is also out. The only name we've both agreed on and like is Anastasia but we're definitely not set on it and looking for other suggestions.

Are you mostly interested in names beginning with "A"?
Eta: Just read your post again. Can I blame it on first trimester exhaustion?

@swedishfish: I love it too! I wanted to use it but my cousin named her LO Audrey.

I love Elliot Anne. I think since the first name has three syllables the middle name should be short.

I like Audrey, Amelia and Avery too.
Also Anika, Amalie, Aurelia, Astrid, Alice

I think something that ends with an -in sound would be really cute with Elliot. Addison?

I love the way Elliot Agnes sounds! I might be partial, though, since we used this as a middle name, too

I'm going with the Elliott aurora crowd. I like the interplay between a boyish first name and a very girly middle name. And I love aurora unless the fun Italian last name ends in -ah.

I think a short one syllable feminine name would be a nice balance with the more gender neutral and longer first name. It doesn't sound like you're committed to an A name?

I also like the thought of a more-feminine middle with Elliot as a first (I LOVE Elliot as a first, btw!) I think I'm firmly in the Elliot Anne camp, but also...
Elliot Ashley
Elliot Amy
Elliot Abigail
If you are flexible on the A initial...
Elliot Jane
Elliot Grace

I'm loving all these suggestions! Thank you so much. We're loving Aurora, Anika, Amelia, and Anastasia, (still.) We also love Avery but I'm not sure I want two unisex names, so that may be out. I also love Analise but DH thinks it's too complicated.
@Cherrybee: that's a pretty funny coincidence! I LOVE April because it has A LOT of special meaning to me, but DH just won't budge. He says he's always disliked that name. oh well.
@MamaCate: We're committed to an A middle name. It's to honor my beloved grandfather who passed away recently. He so desperately wanted to meet his great-grandchild but it wasn't meant to be. We found out I was pregnant on the 1 year anniversary of his death, so honoring him this way is very important to me.

@Meowkers: that is a great way to honor your grandfather! I think you have a lot of great suggestions here for A names.

I love Alice! Is there a feminine version of your grandfather's name that could be pretty?

@Meowkers: haha ok understandable. i was going to suggest Anna but you could do the one n spelling... Elliott Ana is so pretty, I think!

@Meowkers: I actually really like Elliott Anatolia!
Or shorten it to Ana

@Meowkers: I would go with Ana. One of LO's middle names is after my nanna. Her name was Ailsa which she hated so I dropped the A.

I love Elliott Anatolia! It's very unique and clearly meaningful. However, if you're not a fan, I love love love the suggestion of Ana.
