I don’t see Jessica coming back anytime soon. It had its heyday in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. Amber I’m conflicted on. On the one hand it’s also kind of an ‘80’s/‘90’s name, but it has a fresher feel to it (I don’t know how to explain it). Maybe because it’s similar to Ember. I can see Faye becoming more popular, but I’m not sure if it will ever break the top 100 or anything.

I absolutely love every one of these names, Faye, Amber, and Jessica in ranking order. I don't know if they'll get more popular in the USA, because they were last (very) popular in the 2000s (with the exception of Faye, though it was used). I definitely think that it would be cool to hear these names become popular again!

Faye, yes. Jessica, no.I have a feeling Amber will be rising again soon. I keep hearing it come up and it’s already popular in other countries, like Ambre in France and Ambar in Latin America.

Faye is on the rise, so yes. Jessica and Amber were popular in the 80s/90s and are falling, so no.

I believe Faye is getting to be used more often in the US now than it has been in the past couple of generations, though it's still much more popular as a middle name.Jessica and Amber were very popular in the US from the seventies through the nineties, and have fallen out of fashion now. They are unlikely to become popular again for quite some time yet.
