I automatically think stripper name although I don't actually think that it's a stripper name but in most American things shows etc that seems to be the connotation

I'm not mad keen tbh - not sure why. Now because of Amber Rudd but I didn't like it before that.
I know one aged 4 and one aged 2 and it's their name and they are lovely so nothing specific explain why I feel like it.

Yes. I was going to say hooker along with Ruby and Jade. Sad

DM used to work in a school in a red light district. Ruby, Amber and Jade were very common names on the cards in telephone boxes there.

Thanks all - interesting! Husband doesn’t like it because he says it is stripper. Maybe he has a point!

Also, Ruby was my other name Confused

Not keen, sounds like an 80s American cheerleader.

Amber is nice. I also really like Ambreen (Arabic and Urdu), and Anbarin (Persian and Arabic).
