For a middle name - something a bit different. First name will be Ambrose, so would like something that sits well with that. Don't mind bonkers either. Thank you.

Yes, yes, we've been through all that on previous threads. Yawn.

Wow I love Ambrose.

I think an O name could work. Oscar? Oliver? Oswald? Ozzy? Odin?

Hmmm...

Ambrose is a great name!

If you're after a vowel, then I'd avoid A. How about
Owen
Ian
Evan

IHeartKingThistle · 01/10/2013 14:10

Ooh or Ivan! or Ivo?

steppemum · 01/10/2013 14:12

sorry, don't get the connection, why a vowel? Is it just that you think it will sound better?

Isaac
Elliott
Austin
Ewan

Amadeus, Aime, Amede, Oscar, Emil, Ulrich, Yannick...

cantthinkofagoodone · 01/10/2013 14:14

I agree with Austin, it was my first thought. I like Ozzy as the nickname.

Octavius? I think that could work with Ambrose

Hamwidgeandcheps · 01/10/2013 14:15

Ossian.

We keep ending up with initals that spell actual words when put together with our surname and I thought that putting in a different/ additional middle name that starts with a vowel might help get round it. For that reason I don't necessarily mind another name beginning with A, a la AA Gill.

What about beginning with 'z' surely that can't spell out much with initials.

AbiRoad and BillyBanter -that's where I'm coming from, thank you. IHeartKingThistle I can't see DH agreeing to Zeus, although Ulysses he might...

I have just started another thread on Steampunk baby names as I seem to like a lot of them. Didn't even know it.
