Ambrose

[Shortbreadwhite]

Please could I have some opinions.

B - Ambrose Augustus William
G - Clementine Goldie Nell

I like the girls name! for the boys name, sorry I couldn’t distinguish if that was a boys or girls name?
prefer Angus or Fergus as a boys name

Well...those are two big names.

Ambrose makes me think of a monk in a historical detective novel. Brother Ambrose tipped Brother Benedict from upper level of the church and put hemlock in Brother Egbert's porridge.

I'm not hugely keen on it.

Clementine is nice once you don't mind that people will pronounce it tyne and others teen.

Love them all!

Yeah, Ambrose is a medieval monk- in not a good way

Clement for a boy (known as Clem) is better than Ambrose.

Ambrose Wilson is a clothing retailer

I want to love it, but don’t.

It’s partly the lack of solid nicknames - Amb? Or Brosie?

If you’re into medical monk names (agree with this) I have a secret love for Aloysius.

Love them both - we have very similar tastes in names, it seems

I think of rice pudding with Ambrose (Ambrosia) - sorry.

Girls name I love.

I love Clement! But Ambrose and Clement are both equally lovely imo

Love your boys name, though id maybe swap one of the names out for something stronger sounding.
love clementine too, but goldie nell feels like a double nn middle name and I’d want at least one of them to be an obviously full name

both full names are quite a lot and indicate a certain level of privilege too, so people will have preconceived expectations of them. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s something to consider.

Ambrose is okay. But they will probably be nicknamed 'Custard'

Devon knows how they make it so creamy

Much prefer Augustus to Ambrose. Or Amos maybe. Ambrose makes me think of someone in the 50s, who polishes his car a lot, and goes motoring with his brother Austin.

Clementine is nice enough, but why in holy hell do you want Goldie? Is it after a dog??

Love the boy name.

Nell isn't nice, imo. I think middle names should be full names, not abbreviations or nicknames. Also, Nell makes me think of "death knell".

Yep.

Ambrose....ia rice pudding is exactly what I thought when I read the OP.

Don't do it to him.

Love it.

Ambrose Augustus - both awful ( as mentioned above) William at a pinch , if you must.
Clementine Goldie Nell - all grim.
They'll be singing the song to Clementine. Goldie sounds like a budgerigar or possibly a cat/dog
Nell rhymes with hell - just no.

My mum had an uncle called Ambrose - known as Amby.
I always thought it was a great name.

The more I read Mumsnet, the more I think Jane and Peter are wonderful names.

Hilariously, there were 20 times more Clementines than Janes born last year....

In order of preference, inspired from your thread ..

Clementine Ellen
Clementine Helen
Clemency Marigold
Clemency Gabrielle
Clementine Goldie Nell

Augustus William Ambrose
Angus Ambrose William
William Augustus
Ambrose William Augustus
William Ambrose

Children or fictional characters?

Thank you for your opinions, I did have a chuckle at some of them. I better get the name books back out 😂

I used not to be a fan of Clementine but it has grown on me.
Ambrose I'm not so sure about - I think I prefer Augustus or Clement. Gus is cute as a nickname. Or have you considered Giles?
