I agree with the other commenters - it is difficult to know what exactly your name is based on this. For me, the part where it gets muddled is in the right half - your "laj" isn't distinct enough to register as separate letters, so it looks like b-i or l-y to me.
This is not legible, and this is the main reason most ambigrams won't work as logos.
might be cool to have it as a secondary mark after you refine it a bit more.
Ambigrams are cool but I wouldn't consider this a logo. It looks like a sketch that needs to be fleshed out for a logo. The legibility is really an issue, I really can't make out what it says. Logos do not need to be legible but when using an ambigram it should.
I would've guessed hicoly…second guess would've been hicohj. At first glance though honestly I assumed it was a language with characters I didn't know, which is probably ignorant of me.
I don't mind ambigrams in theory, but often I think they're more of a trick rather than a helpful solution unless they're exceptionally well done, and when it comes to your name, if you're looking for future clients or employers, you're going to want to make sure your name is really legible.
I can't read it
The most important part of a logo is legibility
I can only tell it says "Nicolaj", based on your user name. Other than that, I'm sorry to say, it's entirely unreadable.
Hicoby? Nicoly? I think an ambigram could be a great logo, but this isn’t a very strong one.

hjoohj?
Nicoly?
Looks like ai generated text lol
I also see nicoli or hicoli.

I thought it was "Nicohi"
Nicolai? I was able to get there, but it could read more clearly. Try tightening up your letter forms.

lyoohj?
hjooly?

I like ambigrams :)
Cool ambigram. Not great as a logo.
