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

Ambrose and Balthazar!

Bram and Bal.

I love Ambrose. Of the names you've suggested Magnus is my clear favourite. I like Oswald sonically, but the Moseley connotation is too strong. Thaddeus and Solomon are both just fine to me, and Balthazar for me is one of very few names that has almost no redeeming features.

I think they all 'go' just fine, and if I were you, I would just choose my favourite than worry if Thaddeus and Ambrose sound more cohesive than Solomon and Ambrose. Names you might also like are Casimir, Gideon, Hector, Lucien, Lysander, Orlando, Peregrine, Raphael.
