There are 162 verses in all of Tanakh (Torah, Prophets and Writings) that begin with the letter Aleph and end with the letter Yod. Below is a selection of these verses that have potential as a name pasuk (name verse).
What makes a name pasuk? In addition to beginning with the first letter of one's name and ending with the last letter of one's name, a name pasuk traditionally contains a positive, uplifting message. Therefore, I have not included verses that mention evil, enemies, violence, foolishness, forsakenness, etc.
I encourage you to make a copy of this source sheet so that you can eliminate verses that don't resonate for you, and add personal notes as you consider a name pasuk. I also encourage you to read through the p'sukim/verses several times and make note of words that resonate; even if the whole verse doesn't speak to you, it may be worth further consideration. You may choose an excerpt of a verse, or choose to creatively translate the verse to emphasize the words that call out to you.
