Ansel or Adler?

My baby boy is actually already here and three days old and I still haven't decided on which to go with as I simply love them both. 😭

I can't even say I have a tiny preference towards one of them over the other. Help me out, please?

Ansel for sure!

Adler isn’t a name in Germany. It’s quite an uncommon surname

All I can hear in my head with Ansel is Danny Dyer reading the story Of 'ansel and Gre'l

Definitely Ansel. Much nicer sound

Ansel is lovely!

Ansel reminds me of Ansell the condom brand . Sorry, I'm no help.

I think Anselm might be the better option if folk immediately think of condoms. Problem probably wouldn’t arise until sensitive teenage years when his nn might be condom.

^Ansel is a brilliant name!
Ansel Adams! Greatest photographer ever.^

This is exactly why i considered it (we went in honeymoon to California to see the real places AA had photographed). DH wasn’t brave enough!

Adler used to be a brand of typewriter

FizzyGreenWater · 14/06/2019 11:03

Ansel definitely.

Ansel by far

carmenbea · 15/06/2019 09:49

Love Ansel

growlingbear · 15/06/2019 09:54

I massively prefer Ansel (actually prefer Anselm because I love Anselm Kiefer's work, but Ansel is close.) I love the meaning of Adler but the word is less musical to the ears.

The meaning of Adler? An 🦅 eagle!

Is that a nice meaning ?
