Said aloud I hear "Rose" too easily for me to use it, but for that reason I think it works as a nickname for Ambrose

I think it would work well as a middle...

Wow, that is surprising! I wouldn't have expected the misspellings. Good to know, thank you :)

I love the meaning "where the roses grow," but I have also read it could mean "a clearing in the woods."

I went to school with a boy named Rhodes. His older brother, I believe, was called McQuillin. (Yes, that was his first name.)

Just be warned that it will be mistaken constantly for "Rose"...& it will never be spelled right. Rhodes is one of my married names & I have many years of experience at spelling my name...over & over & over & over... ;)
