A few days ago Ambrosia kind of leapt out at me and hung on tight.

What do you think of Ambrosia?

Is "Rose" a viable nn for Ambrosia? Any nn you like?

What do you think of Ambrosia Jean? Ambrosia Hope? Other ideas?

=) Thank you!

I love it. I love Ambrose, and Ambrosine's great as well. Rose could work as a nn; some others include Amy, Asia, Amber /Ambra, Brosia, etc.

I like Ambrosia Hope. It's got a pleasant sound. Ambrosia Jean works too.

Other ideas:
Ambrosia Eleanor
Ambrosia Elisabeth
Ambrosia Joy
Ambrosia Katherine /Catherine /Katharine
Ambrosia Irene /Irena /Irina
Ambrosia Helen /Helena
Ambrosia Sabina / Sabine

I like Amy as a nn.

I like Eleanor, Elisabeth and Catherine to an extent.

Thanks for the feedback.

I love it. It's really pretty. My combo is Ambrosia June. Rose could work as a nn, but I much prefer just Ambrosia. There is a girl in the year above me named Ambrosia, and she doesn't go by a nn.

I think it's pretty cheesey. On a pet maybe, but "food of the gods" seems like a really bizarre name for a human. I don't get the appeal at all.

I love it. I discovered it a few days ago and really like it.

NO! No! Ambrosia is fruit salad! On a person it sounds like a stripper. And Ambrosia Hope sounds awful together. Say it aloud.

I met a 13 year old named Ambrosia about a month back, it's been on my fave's list since! She didn't have a nickname, but I think Rose could work. Some others that could work: Amy, Amby, Sia, Asia, and Brosia.

Ambrosia Jean is nice, better than Ambrosia Hope. Ambrosia Hope is getting too sickly sweet to my ears. My favorite combination with Anbrosia right now is Sabrina Ambrosia. I also like Ambrosia Cathleen, Ambrosia Elaine, Ambrosia Irene, and Ambrosia Louise, Ambrosia Allegra (though this one is brodering on sickly sweet) and Natasha Ambrosia.

Hope I could help!

I kind of like Cathleen, but spelled Kathleen. And I like Ambrosia Elaine. Ambrosia Louise looks nice but I'd never use Louise. I like Allegra but it just doesn't go with Ambrosia in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback.

Ambrosia Kaitlyn
Ambrosia Kay
Ambrosia Michelle
Ambrosia Elizabeth
Ambrosia Grace
Ambrosia Ruth
Ambrosia Emily
Ambrosia Nicole
Ambrosia Renee

I like Kaitlyn spelled Caitlin. And I have a soft spot for Laine as a nn for Elaine. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.

Funny you should mention this name

I just read a book with the Charachter's TR, Queenie, Tango & Saskia and their horse was called Ambrosia
Its sorta growing on me. Rose or Rosie would be a cute nn.
Ambrosia Jean is nice.

But as previous posts are about Tango, mostly, I assume it took more of your fancy. :-D Though you did remind me that I like Saskia.

I like Ambrosia Jean. It's not a name I'd pick, but I'd smile to see it on someone else's child. The "food of the gods" part is a bit of a turn off, though. I like the NN Rosie with it. I prefer Jean to Hope for the sound and because Ambrosia is technically a word name, it seems overkill to me to follow up with a second word name. Also, I just don't like Hope!

I almost like it.

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.

I know what you mean, the dictionary screams at me for liking Ambrosia.

Rosie. That's an idea. I think I like it more than Rose. :o)
