I love Ambrose! It’s cool to see it charting again after being absent for so many years but I really hope it doesn’t become too popular!

It seems to lack good nicknames, Bo is the best one I can come up with but I also like Buster as a gp nn for it (even though Buster can be a nn for literally any name but I like specifically for Ambrose). Amby seems cute in theory but I’m not sold…

I love it, maybe mostly because I once had a dream that I named a son this. Such a satisfying name dream.

I like how formal, tweedy and dusty it is, and I also like the idea of a boy called Amber (as a nickname). It's the perfect combination of tacky and gentle hippie for me.

I used to hate it. If it was said as "am-brohs" I could love it, but its "am-brahz." Its fancy, for sure, but not melodic. I would be interested in in seeing it used more, but I wouldn't recommend anyone to "snatch it up" per say, the way that I would other uncommon names.

I like it but I’m afraid it might be too pretentious.

I think that Ambrose is a strikingly handsome name.

I love Ambrose but would be surprised to meet one. Here it tends to be used more as a name for old, dusty university professors on tv.

I used to dislike it, now I find it very classy. I hope it keeps rising in popularity.

No. Not good; could be someone Bertie Wooster was at school with.

I can’t tell whether I like it either.

Ambrose seems too moody and formal for my taste. It's sort of bound to be spoken in its full form, since there are no obvious appealing nicknames - and the sound of it, the consonant cluster followed by the long vowel and zz, kinda forces one to say it a bit slowly and seriously.
It's maybe the sort of name where people tend to nickname the bearer by using his surname instead.
I have never met one. I think it would actually work okay on a real person. It could even be kinda sporty, in real life. Like Grover or Horatio. But I don't really *like* it.

Don't like it at all

I love it! It's dashing and even poncey, which makes its surge in popularity quite surprising.
