I don't think it needs a nickname,

Not to my taste (no pun intended).

Nicknames i'm stuck on but that could be a good thing that it doesn't get shortened? what do you think? x

Ones i can think of are: Amby, Brosy, Bo, Bram, Ro :/ not sure lol

I’m not keen. I think of rice too. But I’ve never known anyone with the name. Maybe it could grow on me. Was there one in The Archers? Why would a nickname be needed?

Don't tell me, your OH is called Rhys. Smile

Ambrose is lovely. Much nicer than Emrys.

Emrys is nice, my name is Emma though... Do you think that's too many Em's? lol! xx

The welsh version of Ambrose is Emrys (pron. EM-riss), and is much nicer.

I think it's cute. A bit silly but I think it's a name someone could pull off if you liked them. What are you thinking for nicknames?
