Have had mixed reviews from friends - some like it and others feel it's a bit of a 'stripper name'. Yes, really. Would welcome your honest thoughts.

Diamond and Sapphire are strippers. Amber is a perfectly lovely girls name. Like Ruby.

Don't know why different gem stones fall into different categories.. but them seem to don't they?

Well, as you can see in my profile, I'm the mother of an Amber, who's now 23 - there were quite a few about when she was born, possibly because of Amber Le Bon, who is a few months older than mine. But I don't think it ever got massively over-popularised, like Sharon or Tracey for example.

I love it so much, please don't hesitate to use it.

Indont think of strippers! Perfectly fine name.

I'm not a fan but wouldn't have called it a stripper name tad harsh!

Smilehappy · 27/05/2013 17:30

I love Amber! Thanks

I honestly think Amber is a beautiful name. Pretty, easy to say and spell and known about but not too popular. And also not cutesy. Great for a child or an adult.
