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

Love it. Ansel Adams.

And George Michael's first serious boyfriend Anselmo.

Ansel Adams is what sprung to mind for me too, not haemmeroid cream!!!

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

HerRoyalNotness · 16/12/2017 17:15

Ansel adams was what I thought. The I like it

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.

Can’t bear it

And far too closely aligned to anus and anal

EvaBlu · 16/12/2017 17:12

Remind me of the famous American nature photographer. I️ quite like

RavenWings · 16/12/2017 17:11

Ansel and Gretel here too!

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 16/12/2017 17:11

I prefer Anselm.

Christmascheerful · 16/12/2017 17:09

I came on here to say 'ansel an gretal

Viviennemary · 16/12/2017 17:08

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

verystressedmum · 16/12/2017 17:07

It sounds a bit strange tbh I don’t like it at all

WowserBowser · 16/12/2017 17:07

Reminds me a bit of Anusol

PersianCatLady · 16/12/2017 17:04

Sounds like you can't be bothered to say Hansel properly
