I think Percy, Ambrose, and Clement would go well with Myrtle. Ambrose might be a little too out there, though, so if I had to make a combo it'd be Percy Clement. Which - I think - sounds rather nice!

I like Peter, Alan (definitely not too common, in fact I'd love to see it on a person less than 50), Ambrose, Hosea and Moses. Please think long and hard about Virgil before you use it if you're in an English-speaking country...

Peter (too boring?) - my son is Peter, and it's worked well for him.
Percy - better for a cat; I've known several Percy cats
Vance - unused where I live. Dislike
Gabriel - shortens to Gay
Alan (too common?) - one of the all-time greats, and not common among newborns
Ambrose - Devil's Dictionary, otherwise foppishly dated
Clement - quite nice; prefer Clemency on a girl
Constant - has the wrong connotations where I live; probably not bad elsewhere
Eben - see Constant
Hosea (too weird, does it go with Myrtle?) - shortens to Ho
Moses - a one-user name, like Errol and Elvis
Virgil - unused where I live; good poet

Peter is not too boring! I think it'd go well with Myrtle. I also like Ambrose and Clement (Clem is a great nickname).

I LOVE Gabriel, Hosea and Moses and we considered using all these with our last pregnancy. I would go with Gabriel as the fn and then use either Hosea or Moses for a mn. I think Myrtle and Gabriel sounds quite good and I don't think Hosea or Moses really fits with Myrtle.

I like:
Peter
Gabriel
Alan
Ambrose
Eben

---

For middle names but not first names, I like:
Vance
Clement
Constant
Moses
Virgil

---

I don't really like Percy or Hosea.

Honestly, I find Peter refreshing and not boring at this time. I haven't met an actual Peter in ages.

---

Although common I do like Gabriel the best, Ambrose a close second.

---

I grew up Catholic, so Clement is always a pope-name to me.
Alan seems a little dated at the moment.
Moses makes me think of Gwyneth Paltrow just as easily as the bible.

---

Vance, Percy, & Virgil seem pretty fresh, though.

Love Peter, Alan, Ambrose, and Eben.
I think the only from your list that don't go that well with Myrtle are Percy, Vance, and Hosea.

Gabriel, Ambrose and Eben are my favourites. I also kinda really like Virgil.

---

I dislike Percy, but like Percival

---

I like Peter a lot, but it seems a bit plain compared to Myrtle

---

I like Myrtle with Peter, Percy, Gabriel, Alan, Ambrose, Clement and Constant. My favourites are probably Peter and Clement.

First of all, Myrtle is absolutely darling.

---

For a little brother, I can see Myrtle playing well with -

---

Peter
Ambrose
Clement
Hosea

---

Nothing wrong with the other names, but they either seem too common (Gabriel) or have a different style where the two together seem a little odd (Alan, Moses). And this is all my opinion, of course, in the end it all depends on what feels right to you.

---

My vote goes for Ambrose or Hosea. I love Virgil as well but the two together kind of rhyme.

Alan\Allan or Vance

---

Dislike the rest

Peter - I like Peter. I don't think it's boring but I might be surprised to see it with Myrtle.

---

Percy - Percy is kind of Geeky, though it fits well with Myrtle. You realise you'd have two Harry Potter characters though?

---

Vance - I've never heard this before. I like it! It's cool and goes well with Myrtle.

---

Gabriel - one of my favs ^_^

---

Alan - I dunno about common, but it's certainly usual and unsurprising. Like Peter, I wouldn't expect it with a Myrtle.

---

Ambrose - I never know what to think of Ambrose. I only ever come across it in books where it always fits in with the setting... but I kind of thing any Ambrose would be look out of place wherever he went. Unless he was an actor. You seem to get away with anything name-wise if you're an actor.

---

Clement - ugh. I really don't like virtue names. All I hear is that guy from Pirates of the Caribbean saying "I have granted you clemency" or whatever it is he says.

---

Constant - ditto above. Virtue name.

---

Eben - weird. This one looks like a typo of Eden to me. And it sounds like someone with a bad cold saying "even".

---

Hosea - I totally thought this said Horsea. And I was like, a Pokemon name???? Hosea is unusual and might have pronunciation issues. I'd probably get used to it, but at the moment I don't like it much.

---

Moses - Myrtle and Moses? Hmmm. I don't dislike it, but I think other names work better.

---

Virgil - oh gosh, Virgil. Myrtle and Virgil ALMOST rhyme. It's too close to comfort for me.

The only name I like from your list is Gabriel. Myrtle and Gabriel go well together.
