At the moment I definetely wouldn't use the name
Amber. It does have a low class association and it sounds very outdated.
It actually is a nice name I have to admit that.
Wendy for example is also a nice name but when you hear it you can't think of
Peter Pan for some reason even if you really want to. The
Peter Pan image just gets pushed aside and instead you think of fast food and uneducated people. The same goes for
Amber. Your try to think of the gem but for some reason you can't.
The good thing is I can totally see
Amber making a comeback. The bad thing is that I think it'll make that comeback in about 60 to 100 years.
There are some alternatives you could use, though. There's the Italian
Ambra. The problem is the "bra" in
Ambra. There's also the French
Ambre but I think most people can't pronounce it and just think it's a weird spelling of
Amber.
