In my head I see a class of little boys with "normal" names an one named Ambrose but being ridiculed as Rosie, amber, or any other girl name that could be formed from Ambrose. That's pretty much the only way I can explain it.

And by "normal" I guess I mean standard/modern boy names. Ambrose just seems too old fashioned.
I never said it was a 'bad' name, but based on what my peers when I was a kid made fun of I just feel that a boy named Ambrose would be teased a lot.
Kids tend to find any/everything to tease someone about.
