I'm bracing myself.....India or Amber?

[mary33]

Honest opinions please for my final shortlist if it's a girl....

Thanks!

India is lovely

I like India better.

Amber is very popular here & not one of them fits a stereotype (chav or other).
India is nice, too, although I've only heard of it as in India Knight & I'm not a big fan of hers.

Both fairly popular round here, I like both. I would choose Amber myself, but ds1 has a lovely friend called Amber who may have influenced me.

India is too pretentious. Have you spent time in India?

Amber reminds me of a beautiful stone. I think it was a lot MORE popular in the US than it ever was here, so it is considered a little 80s in the US, but I still much, much prefer it to India, which is awful, sorry.

I prefer India just for its comparative rarity. Amber was really overused for a while. I do love it for girls with red hair though.

lots of both here of 4 - 9 age group, no contact with littler so don't know how popular they are at the mo.

prefer Indiana actually, thinking about it... still shorten to Indie...

Amber

Neither

Sorry

India definitely. Lovely name DH will never allow it for me though

Amber

India

I realy like the name India.

Was going to be DD's middle name. Still not sure whilst I was out of it following my c secton that resulted in it being changed TBH.

Malory, why are you cross with Johnnie? What's he done wrong this season?

I wouldn't choose either but they are both quite nice, I don't have a preference.

Sorry, neither. I know that doesn't help if you have narrowed it down to those two, but they are both perceived by me as chavvy.

I like them! not chavvy imo.

DD is Amber - you can see from my profile pics whether you think it suits her

have just asked DD2 (she is an Amber!)-she says both names are good, but they don't make mugs etc with India on yet (A Good Thing)also some fictional Ambers have been bratty. But she likes it (thank god!)
I think India a bit odd, myself.

Amber is beautiful, but it was very popular in the very rough school I taught in - not that that should bother you but it might. India is posh or trendy southern ime.

The window cleaner reminded me today that I'd named dd after a transvestite in a song - it really doesn't matter in the end what we all think- which do you like best?

There are a lot of Ambers around DD's age (18) because Simon Le Bon's daughter was born around then (I didn't know that when I named DD or I might have thought again)

Rustybear, what a very gorgeous daughter you have!

I love the name Amber.

I like Amber best

Have you thought about Amadea? I love it - Amadeus is a bit too much for a boy but I think Amadea works beautifully for a girl
