I think it's the one. Would just like a few opinions first!

Nowhere near the worst name I've read on here. I too prefer just Amber ehich is gorgeous but she's your baby

SimonLeBonOnAndOn · 08/11/2016 22:38

Awful

Thethingswedoforlove · 08/11/2016 22:35

Anne Boleyn

PlymouthMaid1 · 08/11/2016 22:31

Just Amber is nice but not the two name thing for all the reasons already given.

TutanKaDashian · 08/11/2016 22:29

Dreadful.

What's wrong with either Amber or Lynne?

QueenLizIII · 08/11/2016 22:24

Amberleigh is worse. Is sounds like Amelie mispronounced.

AmberNectarine · 08/11/2016 22:24

Amber is a splendid name. It needs no embellishment.

N.B. I may be biased

EssentialHummus · 08/11/2016 22:21

Another Anne Boleyn here.

DiegeticMuch · 08/11/2016 22:17

Anne Boleyn here too.

QueenLizIII · 08/11/2016 22:13

If you're going back to the US maybe.

If the child will be raised here then no...it doesn't work.

Anne Boleyn is the first thing I thought of too.

Call her Amber Lynn. Just Amber as her name.

pensivepolly · 08/11/2016 22:13

I'm afraid I'm with those who see it as a porn star / Toddlers & Tiaras name....

llangennith · 08/11/2016 22:08

If your baby is going to live in the U.K. perhaps just Amber with Leigh as a middle name.

Girlsinthegarden · 08/11/2016 20:38

My friend is Amber Lynn. It's a famous porn star and is brought up constantly.

Pluto30 · 08/11/2016 19:28

hollie Presumably not if the first name is Amber...

holliewilliams · 08/11/2016 19:22

Lee is usually male spelling
Leigh female
If I saw Lee on paper would assume child was a boy

Barefootcontessa84 · 08/11/2016 17:37

Another one who thinks Anne Boleyn!

SinglePringle · 08/11/2016 16:24

Amberleigh makes me think of 'ambling along'.

Amberlynne makes me wonder if you're related to Britney Spears.

BabooshkaKate · 08/11/2016 16:23

It reminds me of the X Files episode where a little girl called Amberlynn was murdered.

A bit like Madeline. Nice name but has bad connotations for me Confused

PoldarksBreeches · 08/11/2016 16:21

It's rotten. Please don't.

BertrandRussell · 08/11/2016 10:52

Sorry, wrong thread!

BertrandRussell · 08/11/2016 10:51

My ds's names has lots of potential shortenings. One of them I don't particularly like- but it's an easy one to shout, so sports coaches have used it since he was 5. He doesn't mind at all, so it would have been incredibly wanky of me to to ask the coach not to use it. My dd's grandfather (who adored her) used an Irish version of her name from the first time he met he- it just came naturally to him (he was an Irish speaker). Are you really saying it would have been OK to ask him not to use a pet name that had huge resonances for him and which was special to the relationship they had?

JolieColombe · 08/11/2016 10:16

Love Amber on its own (makes me think of the beautiful Amber Benson - big Buffy fan Grin), but I'm another one that straight away heard Anne Boleyn once you put Lynn on the end, sorry.

VixenLupin · 08/11/2016 09:45

Amberlynn made me think of Anne Boleyn straight away.

Amberley is the name of a village near me so I'd think of that and think you were a fan of the museum there or she'd been conceived there!

Amber is a lovely name on its own.

ScrubbedPine · 08/11/2016 09:33

-Lynn appears to be becoming the new -Mae.

Amberlynn and Amberleigh are both ghastly - Amber as a stand alone first name is lovely.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 08/11/2016 09:27

Hi OP, Amber is a lovely, stand alone, name.
I like the suggestion of Amberleigh, as an alternative to Amberlynn.
Over here, Lyn/Lynn/Lynne, isn't particularly popular at present.
However, call your lovely baby, whatever you choose.
Another suggestion is Gracelynn, which was very much liked, on a recent thread.
