I know it has a bad reputation, but I must say I find it pretty. It might not be the classiest name in the world, but I wouldn't call it "trashy" or "stripperish" as the likes of, say, Desiree or Naeveh, or even Diamond or Sapphire (I know these are gems too, but they feel way trashier than Amber. On the other hand, Ruby doesn't feel trashy at all. Can't really pinpoint what's going on here). The only real potentially "trashy" association I have myself is the sexy novel/film from the 1950s "Forever Amber", but it's not as if that was something terribly well known these days.

So, overall, I agree that the sound and meaning can redeem it.
