We are trying to come up with something a bit different but not "out there".

What do you think of Ansel?

Any inspired middle names to go with it?

Is it just too different?

:)

Erm no, sorry. When I read this the first thought that came into my head was 'Ansell Condoms' in Australia.

www.ansell.com

I know this company is a double 'll' but condoms, was my first thought Hmm

Horrid. Sounds like arsehole to me.

don't know this name, like Meditrina I thought it was some version of Anselm which is an OK name but doesn't wow me. Would never have thought of anus or condoms though

I like Ansel. Cool and classic.

Any name can be made fun of with a bit of imagination (e.g. Willian > Willy, Gabriel > Gayboy, Arty > Farty, Tilly > Silly etc etc.....).

I like it, never heard of it before, what about Axel?

Another who sees 'Anusol' here. And then thinks 'Ansel, as in Nigel M-ansel?' Hmm
