Help[Opinions] Re: Amber?
in reply to a message by Chrisell
I really like Amber. I think it's had bad press but deserves a second glance.
Amber (the stuff) is fascinating to look at, so pretty (though not my colour...) and I've never thought Amber the name was tacky like Jade. There's something exotic about it, like Scarlett. (I suspect Scarlett, now fashionable, will be seen just like Amber in 15 years' time - but I digress.) It always seems to belong to pretty girls.
ETA: I see that in Australia, as in Scotland, it's still a top 100 name. That hopefully means it wouldn't seem too old for a daughter of yours. (As in, people won't assume she's ten years older than is. Nobody wants that when they're in the 30s and 40s lol.) I'm surprised it's top 100 here because I seldom hear it, but it wasn't common in my generation and I don't know many children :shrug:
