I quite like the sound of Ansel. It doesn't seem to be a popular name. Does it sound too old fashioned?

It's a really odd name. Don't like it at all. Awful in fact. Ansel and Gretel.

Honesty? I briefly read the title and thought it was asking for opinions on hemorrhoid cream. But in all honestly, people will always have different opinions, go with what you think.

It instantly makes me think of the famous American Photographer, Ansel Adams. I've never heard of another Ansel.
