Thought on the name Amber?

Sorry I’ve posted here so many times I love that I get completely honest opinions.

I’m expecting a little girl and so far on the list of names me and DP loosely agree on are Hazel and Amber. I love Hazel and he loves Amber but we don’t completely hate each others choice which is why they’re on the list.

I think Amber is pretty, from what I know it’s not common for babies at the moment but I’m just not sure.

Would love to know what others think.

I think it’s lovely

Amber is pretty but to be honest I think it's dated, it's quite a 90s name to me. Very nice name though.

I prefer Hazel, I just love it.

I've got an Amber, we loved the name and she loves it as well, one of her last presents was an amber necklace. I don't know of any others her age (she's 7) so we're happy to have not gone for a common name.

I love Amber, I only know a grown up Amber she's mid 20's and absolutely lovely

I like Amber more but Hazel is more fashionable right now.

What about Honor ?

Love Amber, but Hazel is also lovely!

I like Hazel and Amber, but prefer Amber.

The only Amber I have ever met was a lovely little girl. I like Hazel too.

TheDetectiveBadge · 10/11/2020 20:19

I much prefer Amber. Very pretty name.

I like both names and when I heard them Scarlett also popped into my head for some reason?

I think out of the two, Amber as it’s a softer and smoother sounding name.
Also I have noticed Hazel seems very popular right now (this might not bother you) but I think there’s going to be a lot of Hazels about in the next few years.

Love Amber!

I used to know an Amber as a teen. Lovely name.
The only Hazel I’ve know was a mid 60 year old with Graves’ disease so had bad eyes. Sorry, I’m with your DH.

Love the name Amber. Hazel is nice too, but Amber would be my choice

@CrasterKippers I hope you don’t mind me asking but what name did you end up picking out of your list? I’m just hoping if someone has similar taste there might be a name out there we’ve not considered yet 😂

Funnily enough both Amber and Hazel were on my "final 5" list when I was having my little girl earlier this year. Absolutely love them both!
