Aah, I like it. A little glowing light when all others have faded.

May be totally off track here, but I really like Slyvie and Storm.Also quite like Misty. Willow and Misty sound lovely.

My MIL's cat is called Ember - named by yours truely. She is grey with bits of cream and pink - truely a beautiful coloured cat. I thought Ember was a great name as she looked like dying Embers. Surprise, surprise.

I actually quite like it as a name for a girl.

I quite like it but agree most people would hear the name as Amber. Embers have a resiliance to them, they fight, they are the remains of the flames before them. Embers can also relight fires, there is an energy to them.

I think some of the above comments are rather rude and think compared to MANY names, this one is much nicer, and also interesting/different.

Lilac?

I love the name Ember.
I met a little girl called Ember last year on my hols, think she was Romany. She was gorgeous and really suited her name.
Use it if you love it so much.

I'm afraid I would struggle to restrain a double-take if someone told me their name was Ember. I would assume they meant Amber, and I'm not very keen on either myself. It has to be said though that I'm quite limited on name perception.

Solid and warm.... how about...

Amber is a lovely name (see my profile)

I asked the South African teacher at school how she'd say DD's name & she said Amber just like I would - but when I told her about this thread she was a bit shocked as she realised that when she first came to England she would have said Ember - she hadn't really believed her family last time she went home & they told her how much her accent had changed.

I prefer Vladivistok!

bandgeek · 16/05/2008 12:35

I know someone who called their daughter Ember

Amber is far nicer IMO

SNoraWotzThat · 16/05/2008 12:26

very much respect
I don't think I've bent that far back for years.

expatinscotland · 16/05/2008 12:23

camelpose

only this gal could put her hands in front of her and just roll backwards and touch the top of her head to her feet.

Ah - is that the one where they heat you all up to one degree cooler than the sun and then expect you to twist and turn to olympic level and still have your eyes in at the end of it?

Not at the moment no - well, we did with Ember then I started to wonder, then posted on here to see if your responses were the same as my concerns and they are, so I'm happy with binning that now. We now have zero names that we can agree on.

expatinscotland · 16/05/2008 12:20

she was on the matt next to me, snora, AND she could go into full camel pose without using her hands at all, with her hands just in front of her in prayer position!

SNoraWotzThat · 16/05/2008 12:19

Do you agree on any names with your DH?

Azur?

I have a relative-by-marriage called Azur, and she's just had a baby called Roméo.
