counting letters in excel cell

I have a list of first names, such as Adam, Mary, Julie, etc in column A and
I want to find out how many of a specific letter is in each cell. I have put
in =COUNTIF(A1:A17,"*a*") and it returns all the letters except doubles in
the name like in Adam it only counts one. I need to count all of the letter
'a'. Please help.
