What do you tihnk of this? I had a very Ambrosia filled day... A lady at the nail salon was tlaking about her daughter Ambrosia, and I drove by an "Ambrosia Way" on my way to work, a street I'd never noticed. So, I started thinking about it and I love it! What about you guys? What to you think? Is it usable? Possible nicknames? Thanks :-)

I think it's a fluffy pink dessert, actually. :-/ But, yeah, something along those lines. :b

I think it sounds flakey and overly saccharine. I classify it with names like Angel, Heaven, Sugar... just too cutesy-wutsy.

It has the potential to grow on me... but I doubt it will. Amby and Rosie seem like the most obvious nicknames, but there are probably a heap more. It is usable but I don't think I'll use it. :D "A world where Sting asked if the Russians loved their children too and we knew the answer was yes" - Excerpt from Looking for Alibrandi.

It could grow on me. I like that is has a melodic sound but for some reason I find it somewhat insubstatial. The other detraction for me is that it reminds me of Amber, a name I detest. ----Betsy-----

Yuck, I hate Amber. But I really love the ending of Ambrosia, the os ans the ia. So it's different to me. :-)

I love this name. There is a girl in the grade above me named Ambrosia. I'd never heard of it until I met her at the beginning of last year. It definitely made me think, "Wow, that's a great name!" Ambrosia and Eudora are my two newest favorites. =)

Eudora! That's cute! May have to consider that one...

Umm....I don't particularly like it for a person's name. It makes me think of the salad and the band!!

I like it. It's not my first choice, but it's pretty and definitely refreshing: not modern, but not one of the revival names that is catching on. Established and recognizable, yet uncommon enough to make an impression.Possible NN:
Ami
Rosa
Rosi
Ambra
Sia (prn See-uh probably, not Shuh) :)

Hmmm, what about Brosia? I have a frind called Amelia who I call Melia... For some reason I drop the first syllable instead of the ending alot of times. If I ever used it she probably wouldn't have an "official" nickname, just whatever we called her.

BTW, there used to be a character on a soap opera (The Bold & The Beautiful) whose name was Ambrosia nn Amber. Another possibility, I suppose.
