Amber?

Hello,

Amber is the only girl name that my partner & I both agree on, but it’s not at the top of either of our lists, so looking for some feedback :)

No. don't like it.
and does sound like sister to chardonnay.

felulageller · 25/08/2021 19:09

It's really nice.

warnc007 · 25/08/2021 19:12

We've got a 7 year old Amber. She's the only one in her school but she loves her name and the fact it's a little different.

Sonata13 · 25/08/2021 19:14

My beautiful niece is Amber-Rose.

PrivateParty · 25/08/2021 19:21

I like it. Not too popular.

Spidey66 · 25/08/2021 19:23

I like it.

@AuntieStella . I’ve got an Amber and named her after the heroine in this book.

SionnachRua · 25/08/2021 19:25

It does make me think of that weapon that won Love Island...but she's unlikely to be an enduring reference. I don't mind it. Has a warm feel as a pp said.

OverweightPidgeon · 25/08/2021 19:26

@Sonata13 mines an Amber Rose too .

sarah13xx · 25/08/2021 19:35

Yes lovely 😊

aprilshowers2015 · 25/08/2021 19:37

Love it, would've used it but our surname ends "er" so didn't think it sounded quite right

MajorNeville · 25/08/2021 19:39

I know 3 Ambers, all in completely different parts of my life and all different ages. I think it is a nice name, not out there but not overly popular either.

Lulu1919 · 25/08/2021 19:41

I have a 30 year old daughter who is Amber

itsharderthanithought89 · 25/08/2021 19:41

Really like it

evilharpy · 25/08/2021 19:46

@Toottooot

Chavvy.
We have an Amber and I'm pretty sure we're not anyone's definition of chavvy Grin

It's not common around here at all, my daughter is the only one in her year.

TartanJumper · 25/08/2021 19:48

I like it.
I've known two Ambers and both were beautiful souls, so I associate it with nice people!

blackice · 25/08/2021 19:49

Very American. Don't like it, sorry

Blabla81 · 25/08/2021 19:50

We have a 5 year old Amber - a simple and pretty name and not too popular. I don’t think we’re chavs 🤔.

LiveSimply · 26/08/2021 04:11

Ah, thank you all for the lovely feedback!

I really like it. Have only met a handful but they have all been lovely! Not common but also not too out there. Easy to spell and pronounce.

Marcipex · 26/08/2021 23:49

I love it.

Givemethatknife · 26/08/2021 23:52

Very 70s
It’s OK

MobyDicksTinyCanoe · 26/08/2021 23:53

I like it.

Also like Ember and its meaning.

PaolaDiLorenzo · 27/08/2021 00:06

I think it's a pretty name, it's unusual now for younger girls . I know two but they are both in their late twenties and not in the least bit chavvy.
It would make a change from the more popular names.

MimiDaisy11 · 27/08/2021 14:31

I quite like it. I think it does seem a little American which is fine and although people are saying it's dated it's not dated the way some names like Tiffany are as it was never as popular, so I think many people don't know that many Ambers. I haven't met any that I can think of so don't associate it with a particular age group.
