It's edgy and no-nonsense, although I can't help but view it as a "typo" for Amber. I hope it grows on me, because it's not a bad name.

It’s prettier than Amber IMO.

It's fine and nice and much better than Amber in my opinion.

Sounds like Amber, said in a local accent.

Ember is amazing. I have a very close relationship with a little girl named Ember.

It's not bad but not one of my favorites.

I will quote my entire post the last time that Ember was brought up on this board.

"I prefer Amber, though like Amber, I imagine this to be a trend name that will burn bright and fast.

I get the appeal of the word, but... nope."

It's fine. I know someone with this name who is artistic.

I like it. I prefer Amber to Ember, but I still think it's fine.

I love it. I think it sounds a bit older just because of its similarity to Amber, as in it’s hard to picture in a literal baby, but still good (and can be Em/Emmy for a while).

Prefer Amber. Ember just sounds like a weird regional accent trying to say Amber.

personally, I don't like it that much.

I don't mind it. It does have neon-flashing "look at me" main character energy, and that can be hard to carry for some. I could see people who love romantasy liking this name - it has that vibe of trashy lo-fi magic that is all the rage these days, along with Luna, Sage, Isla, Everly etc. And I don't necessarily dislike that, it feels cozy and nostalgic for me because that was the sort of thing I was really into when I was in my early 20s. Ember is young and hyper-romantic in a modern way. It also feels a little bit more flexible than Amber, because Ember can use Emmie/Em as a nickname.

Not gonna lie, it sounds to me like the name of the main character of a bad Wattpad story. Like it's trying too hard to be edgy and unique. I see the appeal, but I could never take it seriously.

I like it.
I never liked Amber. I associate the sound of Amber with Kimberly, and it doesn't seem to me like the same vibe. Ember kind of makes me think of month names. But I can see how some people might confuse it with Amber. It's a trendy name, for sure, but for those who don't mind that, I think it's one of the better ones.

It's just the 2020s version of Amber.
Prefer Amber by a mile.
I expect it to get fairly popular in the future with young GenZ and Gen Alpha parents.

It's like an English version of Iskra. I like it.
