DSis has just found out she's expecting a girl and is stuck between Elise and Amber. Thoughts?

Elise sounds a bit classier to me.

Elise.

Elise.

Amber or Elsie

Amber sounds like a dog's name to me, I really, really dislike it for a child. Elise is much nicer.

Jinsei · 13/07/2014 01:07

I don't like Amber at all.

AlleyCat11 · 13/07/2014 00:50

Amber

Amber.

Very pretty.

Have both at my school......hence my choice.

Elise! I'm not an Amber fan really.

Sophronia · 12/07/2014 21:16

Elise, not keen on Amber at all.

Michonne · 12/07/2014 20:18

Both are lovely but I will say Amber, purely because E names are so popular.

Cpt1sock · 12/07/2014 17:43

Elise, don't like amber at all.

Cpt1sock · 12/07/2014 17:41

Elise, not keen on Amber.

weatherall · 12/07/2014 17:41

I'd discount Elise because there are so many e names like Elle/a/ie s around atm.

Amber is a great name.
Solid.
Easy to spell.
Not obscure but uncommon.

ApplebyMennym · 12/07/2014 17:38

I like them both but Amber is just that tiny bit nicer!

Castlelough · 12/07/2014 17:35

Elise!

Blueberrybaby · 12/07/2014 08:08

I really like them both.

williaminajetfighter · 12/07/2014 00:52

Amber. V pretty. Elise was the mom in Michael j Fox tv show Family Ties so can't shake the connection. A bit too Teutonic for my liking as well.

RJnomore · 12/07/2014 00:30

To my eternal shame I am a closet teen mom fan and thus it must be Elise, please not amber. She is awful (though I realise she isn't well) and it's all I can think of now when I hear the name.

Dontgotosleep · 12/07/2014 00:27

Elise. It's beautiful

ButterflyOfFreedom · 11/07/2014 19:24

Elise.

Xmasbaby11 · 11/07/2014 19:21

Elise - lovely.

Amber I don't like at all.

NadiaWadia · 11/07/2014 19:19

Elise - lovely. Amber is OK though.

Rhubarbgarden · 11/07/2014 19:16

Elise.
