Middle name for Amber-need to register her!

47 replies

Going to register dd on Friday. She is Amber, and but haven't decided on a middle name.

We think either Amber Hope or Amber Elizabeth.

Only thing is Elizabeth is my name, address but it is also a family name in both families. Is it weird to give her my name as middle name?

Any other suggestions? DH has already rejected Rose and Faith which I like.

Just register her as Amber, then you have a year to add the middle name.

Amber Faith?

Elizabeth. Lovely and not strange at all to use your name.

Why on earth would you think it weird to name your own baby after yourself? You're obviously not aware of family history naming conventions.

Amber Rose?

BikeMedalsRunningMedals · 15/08/2012 21:12

My brother Ambrose's nn is Amber Rose!

backwardpossom · 15/08/2012 21:26

Aah! I never thought of Amber Rose = Ambrose. Blush

elizabeth

HappyAsASandboy · 16/08/2012 06:32

Definately go for Elizabeth if that's what you like - don't worry about it being your name.

My DS has my DH's middle name as his middle name and my DD has my first name has her middle name :)

Amber Faye -Faye means "fairy"
Amber Nadine - Nadine means "hope"
Amber Freya
Amber Johannah
Amber Trinity
Amber Serenity
Amber Verity
Amber Joan

Is there a name you wanted to be called when you were little? When I was little I always wanted to have Wendy as a middle name, as I loved Peter Pan...I think I might pass this on to a future dd.

Let us know what you pick. I love hearing about people's name choices! x

Not Amber Rose. A girl at dds school has been called custard for the last 2 yrs after someone missheard it as ambrosiaGrin.

Amber Elizabeth is lovely.

Ham69 · 16/08/2012 14:20

I think Amber Elizabeth is great and you should go with it, but if you're unsure, how about one of the many variations/ nn's? She'd still then have a family name that related to yours.

Amber Eliza
Amber Elspeth
Amber Lily
Amber Lillibet
Amber Beth
Amber Bessy
Amber Betsy
Amber Libby
Amber Elise

I could probably go on and on!

MadBusLady · 16/08/2012 16:08

I like the rhythm of Amber Elizabeth. Other 4 syllable middle names:

Amber Octavia
Amber Victoria
Amber Virginia
Amber Cornelia
Amber Penelope
Amber Felicity/Felicia
Amber Aurelia

It's not at all weird to give her your name as a middle name though Smile

FirstOffTheMark · 17/08/2012 18:42

Well we went with Amber Hope, as Dh didn't like Elizabeth. Ah well. I still like it

Congratulations, Amber Hope is a lovely name!

AlexanderSkarsgardOhYes · 17/08/2012 19:12

Yes, Amber Hope is really nice - simple and clean, IYSWIM.

Ham69 · 17/08/2012 21:09

Congratulations! I think Amber Hope sounds lovely.
