..isn't an ember the remains of a dying fire? I did not know it was a name.
Also people might confuse it with Amber?

You are joking, I presume.

I prefer Cinder.

No no no. As already said, either you can't spell or it's a dying fire. Neither is good.

Makes me think of a fire going out.
Fireman have to make sure all the embers are out.

What other context do you have?

I kind of like it, but it does make me think of Bella Emberg (though of course no one will have heard of her when Ember is grown up)

can you continue the theme started by Cinderella and call her Emberella? Sooooo pretty

I don't think of embers as dying ... rather warm glowing remnants.

I agree it might sound like Amber said with an Ozzy or South African accent ... simply because people are very familiar with the name Amber so they will try to make sense of what they hear and may not have heard Ember used as a name.

It is a very small river in Surrey or part of a fire that is dying. Amber, yes, Ember, no.
