Ambrose?

[Lalafelpotato]

Hiya,

Thoughts on the name Ambrose for a boy please?

Inspired from Sabrina by any chance?

It’s a nice name though.

Custard

A colleague named her son Ambrose. I had to bite my tongue as I think it’s awful. Sorry OP, it’s not for me.

I’ve been thinking about this one and it’s grown on me a lot. It’s definitely a male name, after the saint.

Emrys is a Welsh man's name.

Think of custard with Ambrose. Sorry.

Makes me want to yell AMBROSIA (like the custard advert)

Sorry thought you said for a girl. Still awful.

"Ambrosia!"
(The man singing it in the rice pudding advert) is the first thing that comes to mind

I think it’s lovely and very masculine.

Ignore the rice comments.

Why? It's the first thing that came to other people's mind. Mine too.

I think it's a boys name for sure though? It comes from St.Ambrose the monk & saint. He's the patron saint of bees & beekeepers 😂 bit of random info for you all 😂🐝🍯🐝

I know of a male Ambrose. In an Australian psych rock band!

@Soubriquet ooo no, i've not seen it? Does that mean it will get popular again :(?

It is definitely a male name but it’s not very manly is it? Can you really see your son named Ambrose going into the work place and being taken seriously? Especially in a male-dominated industry like construction. He’ll be bullied out with a name like that! Sorry to sound harsh but he’ll probably resent it

It is definitely a boys name.
St Ambrose's body is in Milan I believe.
There is church named after him close to me.

My DP has vetoed this
But I LOVE it
It's my favourite boys name
Unusual so there won't be 8 in s class, but not so unusual that he'll spend his life repeating himself

Love love love it

It isn't any more feminine than Gabriel and the boys I know called that get no grief at all.

@octoberismytime i quite like that it's gender neutral though, just in case they don't identify as a boy later on x

just in case they don't identify as a boy later on
Oh god 😂

@octoberlovin it is the time we are living in though? Not all males go into construction either 😂

I'm not sure why all the rice comments, custard was my first thought!

I'm not keen for a boy, could work for a girl but Amber would be nicer.

I didn’t say they did but you have to be prepared and think overall about what impact the name will have...construction is a male-dominated industry so it’s not unreasonable for me to have put it to you that your son may be teased for his name if he went into that sector...

And no. It’s not the time we are living in. It is a tiny tiny tiny number in society making the biggest noise and shouting the loudest to try and make us think it’s becoming the norm to switch genders and identify as god knows what. It’s still not the norm.

Possibly

The male character in there is called Ambrose

He is a gay witch

Very outdated - not in a traditional way. Rice.

@pumkinspicetime I agree, Gabriel is a lot more feminine! Theodore is very feminine also but really popular now 🤔
