Correct! Yudhiṣṭhira is called Ājamīḍha because his ancestor Kuru was the great-grandson of Ajamīḍha.

77. Whose name was Kausalyā?

and

78. Whose name was Kausalya?

Various women have been called Kosalya in the text, which means Princess of Koshala.

Mother of Ambika, Ambalika. Both Ambika and Ambalika themselves. Mother of Rama.

I think Rama is called Kausalya, son of Kousalya?

Kausalya means a man from the Kosala kingdom. Rāma, Daśaratha etc. could have been called Kausalya because they came from Ayodhyā, the capital of northern Kosala. However, this name isn't used in the Rāma story in Āraṇyakaparvan of Mahābhārata.

Rāma is called Kausalyāmātar in Mahābhārata, meaning one whose mother is Kausalyā, and Kausalyeya in Rāma-rakṣā-stotra, meaning Kausalyā's son.

In the story of Nala and Damayantī, one of Rāma's ancestors is called Kausalya. Who is it?

One of the warriors in the Mahābhārata war is often called Kausalya. Who is it?

There are two stories in Śāntiparvan about King Kṣemadarśin/Kṣemadarśa who is called Kausalya. King Vasumanas (Mādhavī's eldest son) is also called Kausalya, and the wife of one King Janaka refers to herself as Kausalyā. The wife of Pūru was also Kausalyā in one version of the genealogy.

Yes, Ambikā and Ambālikā are called Kausalyā in Ādiparvan. (At some points, there seems to be only one character named Kausalyā.) They are called Kausaly'ātmaje, which means two daughters of Kausalya/Kausalyā. Since Kāśi and Kosala are mentioned together when Bhīṣma says that he carried off two girls for Vicitravīrya, Kausalya was probably the epithet of their father Kāśya who ruled both Kāśi and Kosala. Their mother would probably not be called Kausalyā if she came from Pañcāla, as implied by the name Sṛñjaya for Ambā's maternal grandfather, Hotravāhana.

This is mentioned in critical edition

Vichitravirya married two daughers born to the king of Kashi through his wife Kousalya—Ambika and Ambalika.
