[Opinions] Re: Amber
in reply to a message by Rachel
It's nice! I love the meaning - it's an attractive idea, the warm color and the shiny substance.
It doesn't strike me as hippy. It might have been, in the 70s or something, but it's a pretty mainstream since it's been popular for so long.
It strikes me as a "spunky" sort of name - kind of like what people are trying for with naming girls things like Tatum and Riley, except Amber is femme, too. It's a not-soft kind of femme. Neat.
Unfortunately I've heard it an awful lot in my life, so I have a stereotype associated with it (white middle-class, in her late 20s, basically).
