Thought on the name Amber?

[Whatthedoodle]

Sorry I’ve posted here so many times I love that I get completely honest opinions.

I’m expecting a little girl and so far on the list of names me and DP loosely agree on are Hazel and Amber. I love Hazel and he loves Amber but we don’t completely hate each others choice which is why they’re on the list.

I think Amber is pretty, from what I know it’s not common for babies at the moment but I’m just not sure.

Would love to know what others think.

[quote Whatthedoodle]@CrasterKippers I hope you don’t mind me asking but what name did you end up picking out of your list? I’m just hoping if someone has similar taste there might be a name out there we’ve not considered yet 😂[/quote]
Charlotte

The other two were Violet and Harriet.

Love Amber! Such a pretty name.

Love Amber and Hazel. I know two children called Amber (5 & 12) and one adult Hazel.

I also love Harriet (Hattie)

There's an Amber in my daughters class, she has the most beautiful red hair and is the sweetest girl, she's a good friend of my DD so I like it.

I also like Hazel as well. I can't pick.

Other similar names:
Jasmine
Phoebe (though thats popular)
Ruby (Again popular but I love it)

I have an Amber so am definitely biased, I still love it as much as I did 7.5 years ago! x

Both beautiful names. I know one of each and they are both lovely, successful, kind people. Hazel is more prevalent in Scotland.

It is the name of my cat. But I don't mind it.

I think Amber is a lovely gentle name. I know two under-8s named Amber and they both are very mellow so that does colour my view. But it is a warm kind name.

@CrasterKippers love all your names. Charlotte is an excellent pick though

Love both Amber and Hazel

How about Pearl or Jemima (maybe too frilly for you)

Definitely amber over hazel

Amber is an 80s American cheerleader name. Hazel is much nicer.

I prefer Amber over Hazel - I think because it has a softer sound. But both are pleasant enough names, that aren't overly popular as you said. Actually it's weird that I like Amber so much (and don't mind Hazel or the similar Heather) considering I don't usually like the similar style names (Jade, Scarlett, Violet etc).

I really like Amber but Hazel is just OK.
I know an Amber and a Hazel, both nice.

Pick whichever sounds best with your surname.

Personally I love Hazel (would be on my list but doesn't go with DH's surname at all) but can't abide Amber. To me it has a totally different vibe - Hazel is soft and vintage, while Amber feels dated / 90s / American.

I used to know sisters named Amber and Hazel! They are in their thirties.

I love the name Hazel. I think it's nicer than Amber, but nothing wrong with either of them.
