I like both!

Ooh a difficult one - I really like both! I agree with the pp who said it depends what vibe you’re after. I personally love the vintage vibe of Amelia and although its longer than I usually like, it has lots of very useable shorter options (Amie, Milly, Mia etc)
But Amber is a bit edgier sounding and I love that it doesn’t tend to be shortened.
I’d probably pick Amelia (probably…!)

Amelia.

Amber is a chavvy name.

VelvetTurtle · 07/05/2024 17:14

Amber otherwise she will be Amelia (surname initial) at school. Wouldn't like that for my kids there's 3 in my sons class Amelia S Amelia M and Amelia L

goldenretrievermum5 · 07/05/2024 17:12

I adore Amber - strong, cool and classy

Amelia is awful. So common and it means absence of limbs in medical terms. No idea how it got so popular considering that!

Agree with PP that Amelie is lovely though, very pretty and elegant.

buckleten · 07/05/2024 17:11

Amber, or how about Amelie?

MaryMack · 07/05/2024 16:56

Amber would be my preference although both names are very pretty.

songaboutjam · 07/05/2024 16:53

I personally prefer Amelia but I do like Amber (I used to have a friend called Amber)

It really depends on what "feel" you're after. Something feminine and classic (a "princess" name), or something more modern and assertive? Amelia is more the former and Amber is more the latter.

Amber

bloodyplumbing · 07/05/2024 16:29

Both!

Both lovely!

Sorry I'm not helping.

Maybe Amber has the edge?

TheYearOfSmallThings · 07/05/2024 16:29

Both lovely names but I would go for Amber because of the abundance of Amelias.

WittiestUsernameEver · 07/05/2024 16:28

Amelia.

Dododo83 · 07/05/2024 16:28

Amber!
