Ansel or Adler?

My baby boy is actually already here and three days old and I still haven't decided on which to go with as I simply love them both. 😭

I can't even say I have a tiny preference towards one of them over the other. Help me out, please?

@FamilyOfAliens No, they’re not.

Congratulations. Ansel is my favourite.

Ansel looks like Hansel (from the story Hansel and Gretel) but with a missing 'H' to me! I prefer Anselm.

Anselm is better Ansel bit too close to Anusel. Adler is The Woman

Ansel is a brilliant name!
Ansel Adams! Greatest photographer ever.

Adler means eagle in German and is very much a surname. It’s way too strong and a bit 1933. Ya get me tho. Wink

Ansel is gorgeous and I’d have named another son Ansel. But that won’t be happening. We’re not having any more kids.

What about Anselm?

FamilyOfAliens · 12/06/2019 22:10

They’re surnames, aren’t they?

I live Ansel! After Ansel Adams.

They are both very Teutonic names.
