I love Ambrose and like Ambrosine very much, but I'm not as keen on Ambrosia. I think it's a wee bit too much of a noun for me.

I could see Rosie coming out of Ambrosia but I'd be less keen on Rose. For whatever reason, Rose is too much of a seperate, whole name for me to like as a nickname but Rosie is, well, nicknamey. As another example, it's like the name Jeremy--I can see Jerry as a nn, but not Remy, even though those letters appear in Jeremy.

It’s all the same. What the hell good to you
is your native land after you’re dead? Whose
native land is it after you’re dead?
