[Opinions] Re: What do you think of these names I'd consider naming my (hypothetical) son?
Ambrose, Lachlan and Theodore are the only names I'd even consider. And of the three, I much prefer Lachlan. Wouldn't Ambrose shorten to Bro?
Briar is too thorny and I prefer Brian
Florus is OK, I've got nothing against Latin names, but Florence is more familiar and could cause confusion
Gael is female. End of story. Try another spelling, perhaps?
Kaolin? The clay that porcelain is made of? Why, just: why?
Mochán is definitely coffee-flavoured, and names with diacritals are more trouble than they're worth

I mean, much less sensical nicknames than Bo for Ambrose exist (Dick for Richard, in example), so I think it's fine.
Gael is traditionally masculine.
Mochán does remind me of the Caffe Mocha, but it's pronounced differently (if I am correct).
