Ansell? It's the only boys name I love but am in two minds (slightly) about the two As. The more I say it, the less silly it sounds. But just can't decide for sure and am due in three days!

Help us!!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansel_Adams

Need I say more? He took beautiful pictures

I presume you mean ansell as a first name and adam as a surname?

loveverona · 23/03/2009 22:29

No, Adam as the first name...

I assumed you mean Adam Ansell

I think it sounds fine. Some people really don;t like the double sound thing going on, but I think it can work - and in this case it seems to quite fine/

Just read quite a few messages re alliterative names and seems to be generally favoured (lots of famous names, etc). I think that's what I'm not sure about, but it's only a bit. And the Adam Ant connection - but then that wouldn't be his generation anyway!

Love to know what more of you think....

Makes me think of Adam Ansell - the (great) photographer!

No, I think it's far too similar to Adam Ansel.

I don't know. Not terrible, but it sounds like 'ad a Mansell.

You'd have to enunciate it really clearly.

It's not terrible though you know. Just not perfect and I know it's hard to find the perfect name.

I almost called my son Gus Garcia and people (random internet people!!) were split 50:50 between "do it do that sounds fabulous" and "you have GOT to be kidding".

Isn't it Ansel Adams......the photographer, I mean. The other option is Louis....
