A few names needing a few opinions

[meadowlarks]

Orson (As in Welles)
Otto
Ambrose
Edmund
Arthur
Somerset (Probably as a MN)
Atlas (Greek god, not a map)

And, I'm just going to throw this out there...Judas as a middle name. Clear your mind of the betrayal connotation and it's actually quite nice. Too cruel?

Ambrose is great.

Quite like Otto but I think it gets used a lot for pets in case that would bother you.

Orson, Somerset and Atlas are SUCH a mistake. And Judas is impossible to disassociate from the betrayal and pieces of silver thing. How about Jude instead?

Edmund Jude.

I only really like Edmund. Jude is great as a name, Judas would be tempting fate in my book.
Only ever heard of a cat being called Ambrose, is it actually a name or a brand or custard?
Somerset=very effeminate to me and that alone would rule it out.

If you really like the name Judas then why not add an i ie Judias. Sounds the same without the connotations.
I love the name Arthur. It was my late Grandpa's name and is trendy again (as are alot of the old fashioned names). I named my DS James Darren Arthur, all family names. My DH wanted our DS to be called Darren after him but I personally didn't like the idea. To me it felt like saying our DS was DH's mini me rather than a person in his own right! DH is called Darren James and if I were a boy I would've been James Darren! Also James and Arthur were my Grandfather's names so big family names! Lol

I would def think about putting a more 'traditional' name in there as a just incase name so that your DS can use it if he's embarrassed about an unusual name.

Having said that I love the idea of several names. Any further children we are lucky enough to have would all have 3 names to be fair (unfair giving one child 2 names and a sibling 3,4 or more!).

Atticus Louis Caleb Tobias Somerset sounds ok. Like them but not Atticus as first name, maybe second? Think I prefer Somerset as first name but have to agree with NN of Somer sounding girly. If it were me I'd go for a strong masculine name like Arthur, Edmund or Orson as first name although good point about getting Orson Cart as NN or Ambrose and custard (even though it's Ambrosia).

Whatever you like you should go for, don't let other's decide it's your baby after all! But do consider what it would be like at school with the bullies and a name like Judas or Ambrose Somerset Smith (ASS). Schools hard enough without giving bullies ammunition!

Good luck x

Because if she called her child Judias, people woud think she couldn't spell Judas.

Love Otto and Atlas.

Judas best avoided IMO. How about Jude as an alternative?

Atlas's brother could be Dictionary. Dic for short. And Thesaurus could be nice for a girl - Thea for short.
