Ansel or Anton?

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you have a preference? The middle name will be [name_m]Robert[/name_m].

Thanks so much for any opinions. We are stuck!

I like [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] but better than [name_m]Anton[/name_m] for no definable reason.

[name_m]Ansel[/name_m], by far. It’s more interesting, softer, and has the association with [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] [name_m]Adams[/name_m]'s beautiful black-and-white nature photography. [name_m]Anton[/name_m] is boring to me, just [name_m]Antony[/name_m] without the -y.

[name_m]Ansel[/name_m] is very handsome.

I think [name_m]Anton[/name_m] pairs with [name_m]Robert[/name_m] better, but I like them both the same.

I love [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]

I agree with this! I love [name_m]Ansel[/name_m], but with [name_m]Robert[/name_m] in the middle he doesn’t sound half as interesting as [name_m]Anton[/name_m].
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] is a little incongruous, mis-matched.
[name_m]Anton[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] feels right immediately.

[name_m]Anton[/name_m] sounds better with [name_m]Robert[/name_m].

I want to love [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] because I love the connection to [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] [name_m]Adams[/name_m], but I prefer the look and sound of [name_m]Anton[/name_m]. Both are handsome with [name_m]Robert[/name_m].

Agreed that [name_m]Anton[/name_m] pairs better with [name_m]Robert[/name_m], but [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] is my pick.

I think [name_m]Anton[/name_m] sounds better w/[name_m]Robert[/name_m] than does [name_m]Ansel[/name_m].

I think both names go well with [name_m]Robert[/name_m]. Personally I like both, with a slight edge for [name_m]Ansel[/name_m], ([name_m]Ansel[/name_m] [name_m]Adams[/name_m] is a personal hero of mine).

[name_m]Ansel[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] all the way! One of my favorite names. [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] [name_m]Adams[/name_m], the famous photographer, is also a great association.

Handsomely unique, but still very classic sounding.
