They are both lovely choices! I voted for [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]. I think it goes well with his sibling names and is a great match for [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m].

I chose [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], as the two names are classics, and it was on your shortlist a few times. I don’t believe [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] is a filler name!

I don’t think you can go wrong, honestly, but I do love [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] in the middle spot.

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is so handsome and dignified, but I think it works for anyone. I like [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], but not as much as [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m].

I voted [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. I prefer the name [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] on it’s own. But [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] has such an effortlessly sophisticated but casual vibe. I love it.

I really like both! Would really have to read it along with the last name to compare (I’m weird). [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is a favorite of mine, but in this case I actually prefer [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] just makes more phonetic sense to me.

Last name sounds like Action.

The poll is pretty close… I might just have to wait to meet this guy and hope he fits one of the names. At least we’re settled on [name_m]Edmund[/name_m].

dizzy · January 5, 2019, 9:23am

I kind of think this too. It does keep the focus on [name_m]Edmund[/name_m].

dizzy · January 5, 2019, 9:26am

Thank you! I do love [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] and love the match with [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] (for that matter, I like [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] as a [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] match too). I just know I was able to get away with [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] because I used [name_m]Peter[/name_m] in the first spot. With [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], I’m not sure I can take as many chances in the middle spot.

Both beautiful, you really can’t go wrong!

But [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] really stands out, in a good way. It’s a fantastic combo — classic and cool; soft, striking and strong. It sounds to me like you need to throw caution to the wind and embrace the “wow” factor of this name, not be embarrassed by it. It’s awesome!

Best of luck! I hope everything goes smoothly on [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f].

I am reading and considering all of these replies, so thank you all.
I am down to my final 3 hours, so I’m both distracting myself from nerves and bumping this thread for any last minute thoughts.

Thanks!

My husband, who is pretty solidly on Team [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], loves this comment. It certainly does sum up the pro-[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] argument…

dizzy · January 10, 2019, 12:35am

Update: [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] it is!

a282 · January 10, 2019, 1:32am

Congrats with your boy!

elise12 · January 10, 2019, 2:48am

Congratulations! [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is very handsome.
