Names we are still considering.
That's a good question! Our list changes almost weekly, but there are some that keep appearing consistently. Ideally, we want a combo that has a family name from each side.
Besides Conrad Ambler, we are also still considering:
Nathaniel Cary --probably the other strong contender. I come from a long line of Nathaniels, but the last one died over fifty years ago and I would like to bring the name back. Cary has a long history on my wife's side.
Theodore Ambler --Theodore is a dark horse. It is not a family name on either side, but we like it.
Richard Baskerville --Richard is my wife's late father's name and Baskerville is a family name on my side, which may sound a bit pompous but it has special meaning for me. My reservation is primarily with the name Richard because I don't like any of the nicknames--plus Peter and Richard are both slang-related names for the same anatomical part.
Robert Rome --Robert was my great-grandfather and Rome was my wife's grandmother's maiden name. I actually like the alliteration.
Do you have any thoughts about these possibilities?
