Ambrose?
WDYT?
I think this name is very interesting and sounds nice.
P.S What do you think about Elias and Ambrose as twins?"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."

I love it! It has a rich sound, interesting associations, and a positive meaning. Ambrose and Elias go well together.

I like Ambrose, but I’m not sure if I had the guts to use it. Great twin set!

Ambrose, if not really my type, is definitely interesting. It sounds kinda stuffy and looks a tad feminine, but I do like the meaning.I think it kind of outshines Elias in a sibset, though.

I have some good and bad associations, all of them fictional. IRL it's a little stuffy and overimportant, but I still like it. I also like Ambrosius.I think Elias is too young and unassuming to go with Ambrose. Maybe a kid brother, but not a twin. A twin for Ambrose should be more like:
Jasper
Gavriel
Victor
Rolando
Wilhelm
Galahad
Gideon
Sebastian
Bartolomeo
Vincenzo
Augustus
Dorian
Damiano
Valerian
Tristano
Leopold
Devlin

Ambrose has been a favourite of mine since I was a kid, and I'd use it in a heartbeat but I think my wife would find it too unconventional. Maybe as a middle name.Elias & Ambrose is an adorable set.

Elias is okay but doesn't appeal to me. Eli or Elijah are better.Ambrose, I have said this before and many people disagreed, but it sounds so so feminine to me. Like someone is quickly saying Amber Rose. Or like a name invented by combining Amber and Rose. I know it is a completely different name, but to me it's so girly and it sounds like a cheap perfume or room spray or something.

The second syllable is unattractive and the only Ambrose I've ever known (my father's accountant) went by Amby, and I find that nickname silly. Elias and Ambrose seem in the same style.

I love Ambrose! It’s so soft and sweet sounding. I never use to be bothered, and it reminded me of Ambrosia custard. But there was like a 2 second clip of a contestant’s son on a show, and just hearing it on a little kid made me love it. I like the meaning, and it feels quite magical, whimsical, and nature-ish, as well as sounding like it’d fit a little boy, teen, and adult.I think Elias is okay with Ambrose. I don’t think it’s quite as interesting though.

One of my favoritesIt's dignified and sensual. Elias is a bit too humdrum next to Ambrose, I'm afraid.

I also find Ambrose interesting. I’m not immediately attracted to it, but there is something appealing there. Brosie or Rose could be nn. Elias and Ambrose definitely sound like brothers.
