My name is Amber and I would love to use Ambrosia as a middle name for a future daughter! In my own opinion Ambrosia is much prettier than Amber and it doesn’t bother me that it’s also a salad haha. If I did use as a first name I like the nicknames Rose/Rosie, Bo and (maybe a bit of a stretch) Bambi.

If it wasn’t a food I would adore this. No one where I live would ever take this name seriously on a child. It’s unfortunate because it’s very beautiful, and the food is not good anyway.

Ambrosia Malone is an Australian field hockey player.
Ambrosia Tønnesen (1859 – 1948) was a Norwegian sculptor. She is regarded as the first professional female sculptor in Norway, and is best known for her many portraits, including statues, busts, and reliefs.
My middle name is Ambrosia. I love it & always have. People don’t always agree though. “Food of the Gods” Greek Mythology. I’d rather be unique than basic, in my opinion. ☺️.
My name is Ambrosia, and my dad named me after the band. I always hated my name growing up. And in middle school we learned about Greek mythology and discovered it meant "Food of the Gods". So that was pretty cool until I was called Ambrosia salad all the time, LOL. But fast forward to 34 years old, I get compliments on how pretty your name is or wow I've never heard that name before... so it makes me like it now, lol. Growing up my whole life my family has always called me "Bros" or "Brosia". And my coworkers and friends call me Ambrosia.

My Name is Ambrosia and I have never been called Amber Or Rosia. I can say I've only ever had compliments on my name. It has also made me stand out in work and business situations.
It's a pretty name, but the girl would surely be called Amber, which unfortunately has a bit of a bimbo reputation. Rose is also a bit of a boring nickname. What has ruined this name for me is that back in the dark ages of the late 90s, I watched the Bold and the Beautiful (yes, I'm ashamed), and this was the real name of a ditzy character called Amber.
This name is also a word. "Ambrosia" was the food of the gods in Greek Mythology, and it was thought to give the consumer immortality. Today, ambrosia is still used to refer to deserts often made of fruits and marshmallow or coconut.
