Re: What do you think of these names I'd consider naming my (hypothetical) son?
I personally would pronounce Ambrose like "Am-broes" even if it is wrong, since most names have been "bastardized".
I do like Gale, but I just like Gael a bit more.
Mochán is really confusing. I believe it's "Mo-han", but some people say "Moch-on", so I'm not sure.

Ambrose is pronounced to rhyme with Rose in British English; neither version is even slightly bastardised, it's just a regional variation.
Oh yes, that's why I used the quotation marks, since I couldn't think of the right term.
It rhymes with Rose in my General American accent too.
