Twin Brother for Ambrose??

[Grumpylabrador]

Me and my partner have already decided on the name for one of our twin boys and he’s going to be called Ambrose.

we wanted opinions on which name for a bother would go best and we’re open for suggestions, on our list so far we have

Balthazar
Magnus
Oswald
Thaddeus
Solomon

Many Thanks

Augustine (gus)

I like both Magnus and Solomon from your list.

Other names:
Herbert ( nn Bertie, Bert, Herbie)
Cornelius
Barnabus
Rufus
Alexander

I like Ambrose.I had an uncle Ambrose, who shortened it to Amby. His brother was Frank.
I like all your other twins options. Maybe Magnus the most.

Ive twins and one advice is, give the second-born the first name alphabetically (so they're not always second in class registers etc).

Ambrose and

cedric
edgar
maximus
reginald
wilfred
benedict
francis
douglas
cassius
jasper
victor
montgomery
lionel
vincent
leonard
orson
isadore
tobias

Bartholomew, I wanted it for DS2 but it was vetoed (it's his middle name). Bram and Bart(y) has a certain ring to it.

Love all your names. Wish my ex had been brave enough for an interesting name for our boys.

Augustus is a wonderful name, the one in my family always gets shortened to Gus or Gustus.

Rupert?

Reuben

I like Solomon. How about…

Barnabas
Caspian
Hector
Constantine
Bartholomew
Demetrius
Evander
Matthias
Horatio
Ferdinand
Isidore
Fabian
Joscelin
Marius
Amadeus

What about Emrys?

I think if you want Bram then Abraham would be more obvious?

I like all the others (especially Balthazar) except Oswald - perhaps because it makes me think of Mosley.

Hector
Gawain
Rufus
Victor
Ernest
Julius
Levi
Jerome
Jethro
Philip nn Pip
Cedric
Harold nn Hal
Digory
Barnabus
Ivor
Tobias
Josiah
Elisha
Edgar
Alberic
Amos
Alistair
Humphrey
Winston
Linus
Francis
August
Giles
Zachariah

Cornelius above is an excellent one

I'd go for Ambrose and Edward. As full names they won't feel ridiculous in teens or adult hood.

Please don't lumber someone for life with a name whose ridicule, smirks negative connotations they will never escape. Bram will always be Dracula at school. and Oswald will always be Mosley.

I'm so glad some one else thought this!!! I can literally taste rice pudding as I read the thread - bizarre!
Not something I'd chose to name a child in a million years but perhaps in your world it will fit.

Maybe he could be a Benedict nn Ned rather than Ben? Bram and Ned sound nice together.

If you don't mind me asking, as I have never had twins, how do you plan to choose which son has which name? Or will you decide when you meet them?

I do think Magnus is great, but it feels such a strong bold name that it really emphasises how wet Ambrose is.

Ezra
Gabriel

@20viona 😂

Ambrose makes me think of rice pudding
I know it's ambrosia but still

@Watapalava agreed!
Balthazar??

Is this thread what it's like to walk into a classroom at Eton and be introduced to everyone?

Custard...rice pudding?

Ambrose and Gabriel sound good.

Vidal, which means life, I think would go really well with Ambrose ('immortal').
