I also thought of rice. That being said, it's not so bad as a name. His peers won't know about the rice thing anyway.

Love it! A good strong classic name. Ignore those saying it's not masculine, they just want everyone to be called Dave Hmm

And as a PP mentioned the beautiful Basiliica di Sant Ambrogio in Milan holds the saint's remains.

Got the old advert stuck in my head now...

Ooooh arrrrr it’s Ambrosia

I live in North America; it's a male name but not pronounced Amb-Rose like people listed above. The closest two I know are pronounced Am-Brosse.

It's traditional without being common, so I like it.

You can't just unilaterally decide that Ambrose, Theodore and Gabriel are unisex names! They are boys names.

Ambrosia, Theodora and Gabrielle are the female versions.
All great names.

Definitely a farmers name! Loved that op - I think it's a great name

Guys, this is clearly a joke thread. Read the OP’s updates

Isn't it a custard or rice pudding? Amber is much nicer you could call her Amber Rose and get the same sound?

Oh just realised for a boy then no def not
