Hello:)–after looking through the family tree of names we came across the name [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]. His nickname was Amby(Ambie). We are really drawn to this name. The things I like about it are:

  1. Its not super common(well it was in the 200’s in the early 1900’s) :wink:
  2. Its easy to pronounce when looking at the name.
  3. When hearing the name its easy to figure out the spelling(I think).
  4. I think it sounds masculine and i like the cutesy nickname, especially when he is little.

My only concern is that its going to seem too “out there” despite the simplicity of the name. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think i should be concerned? I realize most people have probably never heard this name(I hadn’t until looking at the family tree), but its a legit name. I don’t want people to be turned off from it just because they have never heard of it.

I think if you love it, than you don’t need to worry about it. I see [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] as very old fashioned, but that is not necessarily a bad thing!

I love [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]! :slight_smile: It’s on my long list. I don’t think it’s “too out there”. I think most people are familiar with it and even though it’s not common, it’s a name that has been used for such a long time and really isn’t that “weird”. You should use it!
