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.

Custard?

niffernaffer · 01/10/2013 13:59

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...

Vowels please!

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.

niffernaffer · 01/10/2013 14:38

Do you know any with a Z??!

niffernaffer · 01/10/2013 14:49

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.
