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

We’ve decided on Magnus and Ambrose now and my husband didn’t really like Thaddeus in his word the nickname Thad sounded too much like Thud

I know a Magnus who goes by Gus, so while it isn't traditional it is used. If you say Magnus out loud (at least the English pronunciation) it makes perfect sense to me?

Honestly, previous generations got Peggy from Margaret and Polly from Mary, and now people get their knickers in a twist if the nn isn't neatly contained within the full name.

Not arguing btw, I just find it genuinely interesting how we're much less creative and more literal with shortenings these days!
