I want to love it, but don’t.

It’s partly the lack of solid nicknames - Amb? Or Brosie?

If you’re into medical monk names (agree with this) I have a secret love for Aloysius.

Ambrose Wilson is a clothing retailer

Clement for a boy (known as Clem) is better than Ambrose.

Yeah, Ambrose is a medieval monk- in not a good way

Love them all!

Well...those are two big names.

Ambrose makes me think of a monk in a historical detective novel. Brother Ambrose tipped Brother Benedict from upper level of the church and put hemlock in Brother Egbert's porridge.

I'm not hugely keen on it.

Clementine is nice once you don't mind that people will pronounce it tyne and others teen.

I like the girls name! for the boys name, sorry I couldn’t distinguish if that was a boys or girls name?
prefer Angus or Fergus as a boys name
