I quite like the sound of Ansel. It doesn't seem to be a popular name. Does it sound too old fashioned?

PotteringAlong · 16/12/2017 18:46

That was meant to be a ? Not a ! At the end.

Hansel in a London accent. Sorry.

The loser character from an X-Files episode: Je souet (i think), the one with the genie in the carpet!

Funny as fuck episode, but not a great association for me.

Hansel is very cute.

I think it’s a lovely name, and I have some prints of Ansel Adams photos on the wall at home.

I have to say, my first thought was Ansel ‘n Gretel, but I think people would tire of this joke, and get used to Ansel being called Ansel.

@elQuintoConyo That's Anson! Ansel was in Quagmire Wink

LynetteScavo · 16/12/2017 19:08

I like Anselmo and I like Axel.

WowserBowser · 16/12/2017 19:11

Anselmo was the unfinished case in Moonlighting Sad

TwigTheWonderKid · 16/12/2017 19:17

Great name.

misskelly · 16/12/2017 19:19

Sorry, but it does sound like a cream you would use for a nasty infection. 😳

elQuintoConyo · 16/12/2017 19:55

Lol WowserBowser a bigger X-Files nerd than me! That's a compliment Grin

Ah Quagmire. Poor Quequeg Sad

WowserBowser · 16/12/2017 20:02

Oh I know!!! Wasn't that the saddest!

elQuintoConyo · 16/12/2017 20:09

I love the episode of Spaced where Simon Pegg says a crocodile ate Colin the Shnauzer Grin

Good lord, sorry for the thread hijack OP Blush

Will be misheard as asshole. Don't do it.

HoratioNightboy · 16/12/2017 20:20

I like it!

Footle · 16/12/2017 22:07

It's a good name. Also, I used to know an Amschel.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/12/2017 13:32

It's a great name ! 😄

Sashkin · 17/12/2017 13:42

Anselm might be better? It’s just unfortunate that Hansel is so much better known these days.

PonyPals · 17/12/2017 14:17

Straight away thought of these. Sorry op 😐
