Amber?

[pbandjam]

Have had mixed reviews from friends - some like it and others feel it's a bit of a 'stripper name'. Yes, really. Would welcome your honest thoughts.

I've never heard the term stripper name, but I do think it's very outdated and a fad that has passed.

I lump it with Lauren and Tiffany (and of course Jade) That sort of mid 80s early 90s try- too-hard name.

I imagine most Ambers to be late teens by now, so it won't be common, that's for sure.

I like it but I suspect it is one of those names that's used quite widely amongst the upper classes and quite widely amongst the lower classes but not much in between. I think this is where the perceptions come from.

Amber is a lovely name.

I love it. The only one I've met would be 35 now. I've always wondered why it's not use more.

I really dis-like it. Sorry. Not sure why though. i know a 13yr old, a 7yr old and a 2yr old with the name.

I love I, but I am bit biased as I have one! I have also had the stripper comment. It wasn't originally one of our favourites but when dd popped out she didn't sit those and she definitely suits Amber.

I don't think it's posh and see where the stripperish comments are coming from, but I still love it and think it's utterly gorgeous. Not sure what that says about me!

I would've said chavvy but my friends dd is an Amber and since meeting her Ive been won over. Wouldn't have said stripper anywAy! I like the post that said it was a warm, autumnal kind of name
