Me and my partner have already decided on the name for one of our twin boys and he’s going to be called Ambrose.

we wanted opinions on which name for a bother would go best and we’re open for suggestions, on our list so far we have

Balthazar
Magnus
Oswald
Thaddeus
Solomon

Many Thanks

I like Ambrose.I had an uncle Ambrose, who shortened it to Amby. His brother was Frank.
I like all your other twins options. Maybe Magnus the most.

Ive twins and one advice is, give the second-born the first name alphabetically (so they're not always second in class registers etc).

Beekindbeehumble · 18/05/2022 22:09

I like both Magnus and Solomon from your list.

Other names:
Herbert ( nn Bertie, Bert, Herbie)
Cornelius
Barnabus
Rufus
Alexander

I really love your taste in names, and second your appreciation of several of the suggested names.

My suggestions:

I came on to suggest Barnaby until I saw you had a short list

i like Solomon and Magnus best from your list.

My suggestion would be Edmund. Or possibly Fabian. Or Ludovic shortened to Ludo.

but Bram and Gus would be an adorable pair!
