Interesting, refreshing...I think I like it. Definitely gives me a medieval vibe, like Amabel, but is less overtly "adorable". I wouldn't mess with her. :)

It's kind of pretty, but I don't like it. Sounds like a cheap perfume. It would be a cute name for a cat though.
Also, this post reminded me of The Faerie Queene and there are so many interesting names in there!

My old next-door neighbours had a granddaughter who I am sure was named Amoret, though I'm not sure if it was spelt this way. It might have been Amorette. I think her sister or cousin was Harriet and another girl was Saffron. It sounds kind of exotic but also a bit fluffy too. Not the kind of name I'd imagine a scientist to have! I'm not keen on it personally.

Fantastic sighting (hearing?) - I've always enjoyed it but never imagined anyone would have the gumption. There's a Middle English/early Modern poem in the old Oxford Book of English Verse (the Quiller-Couch edition) which starts: 'Fair Amoret has gone astray' and asks for help from 'every lover' in finding her ... very sweet; the sort of thing a 1940s version of Robin Hood would sing while sitting under an oak tree. That's the only place I've ever encountered it. Thank you!

How is it pronounced?

I kind of like the look and think its interesting but couldn't see myself using it. I used to have it in a combo though (but it was from the 69 child challenge, so it wasn't high on the list)

It reminds me of Amaretto. It looks like it should mean 'little love'. Seems more like a French lovey-dovey nn.
