Alphonse
then Anatole. Alphonse I find very stately and gruffy, and I'm really drawn to the Alph sound in any name. Anatole is cool, it's very blonde and clipped and introverted and glasses-wearing, but I simply don't find it namey enough to work with. I don't really like Ambrose, although I can see the appeal - like a warm cup of tea and some intellectual discussion. I just can't ever make myself like "mbr" all together. I'm all for consonant clusters, but not that one.

consonant clustersWhat's your favourite consonant cluster? I think I used to have an aversion to clustery names like that when I was younger - I like vowels in between everything to make it sound like a Babylonia princess of some such thing - something like "Alamina" would have been sooo pretty to my 12 year old self. But the older I get the crunchier I seem to like my names.

I think of 3+ ones, LFR is my absolutely favorite. I also really like fr, fl, ct, lf, gl, cht, sw, st, ng, lg, ld, lm, lv, rn.Yeah I used to be that way too, and then I started getting crunchier - now I find myself embracing lots of non-crunchy names. Like I really like the names Aline and Alina, isn't that awful?
