Amber?

[sonyaya]

What does everyone think of Amber as a girl’s name?

I liked it before Amber Rudd. But then I also liked Theresa. Now that's off yo join Margaret.

I like I but DH said it was a stripper name along with the likes of Jasmine and Chloe.

I do like it but wouldn't use it.

Ember?

I love both Amber and Ruby

I like Amber. I don't see it as a stripper's name, its not like you are going for Crystal...

I love it. Was on our list both times.

Sorry Sonyaya. It is actually a lovely name. And those connotations are from about 30 years ago (when phone boxes still existed).

I think it is very pretty, maybe every so slightly hippyish/"rock star's daughter" but has been popular for long enough now that it's beginning to seem more mainstream. I also really love amber the stone and the colour, so it's full of good associations for me.
