This name always reminds me of a bruise. I don't think it's very elegant.
snowsbeloved Says:
Sounds like the feminine form of Ambrose. Also can be a rock band name for the band Ambrosia. It's not terrible...

It does sound a lot like it could be a feminine version of Ambrose, giving it some more credibility.

I'd just go with Amber - which I feel is much better

My name is Ambroshia, & yes my mother did add her own little twist...
instead of "sia" my name is spelled"shia"
she loved the band/group named Ambrosia of the middle late 70's

I knew a girl in school as a kid named Ambrosia everyone called her Rose. I still think this is a beautiful name.
Theodora_Phoenix Says:
There are food names and God/goddess names. But naming your kid after the food of the gods doesn't make much sense to me.
AldabellaxWulfe Says:
God, I love this name! But because it is a 'food' name so to speak, I fear it may be interpreted by others as a more eccentric version of your average stereotypical stripper names, e.g. - Honey, Candy, Cherry etc. So I'm tied between thinking that Ambrosia is a more elegant, upper-class choice or... not.

I just love this name. I love how it sounds. Not sure if I would use it though.

Isn't ambrosia a type of dessert? Like with fruit and cream, served cold? That's what I think of.
