Amber

I think that Amber is a beautiful name. Like you said, the only problem is the whole 'amber alert' thing, but otherwise I love it.
It kind of makes me think of a popular girl with amber colored hair.

It's my second middle. I think it's pretty, but the amber alert associations are a shame. I got my name because my mom has amber eyes, so it's a sort of honor name.

This name is pretty but tired. Give Amber a rest. She may be fresh again in 30-50 years once the young Ambers have grown older and ready for namesakes.

A gorgeous name.

Do some boys have this first name?

Oh, I also gotta add.. my pops always called me Ambie growing up :-)

My name is Amber, and I love my name.

My name is Amber and I really love my name. Some people here have said its too common but I have only met maybe three people with the same name. And I've had people tell me on more than several occasions that they love my name and have not met anyone else named Amber. I never got any AmberAlert jokes but I definitely agree with thenameprincess that I was mistakenly called Ashley and Amanda ALOT in school and still do to this day. Don't mind it though, its sort of a running joke for me :)

Love this name. It was the name of a pet dog we had when I was a kid. She was a Yellow Labrador.

almost 2 months ago I was at a gas station and the male cashier's name is Amber. not to sound rude but I thought he could be T.

I've only met one and she's the sweetest!

my name is Amber and i love my name wouldn't change it for the world and i have a nickname that the boys at my school came up with and they always call me it it's Ambra

Totally too 80's. I knew lots of Ambers growing up.

I think about cheerleaders when I hear this name. Too 80s?

I absolutely adore this name.

I really like the name Amber

My name is Amber and I love it. It's not easy to come up with nicknames for but my dad has come up with a few over the years namely Bammer, Slamber, Bammeretta, and BamBam. I have read on other name sites that it means "fierce and precious" and I love that, however even if that's not true it's still beautiful and I love being named after a gem. The only problems I have had are being called Ashley by school teachers and the occasional "amber alert!" joke. I also have red hair so every woman over 30 has made a joke about that, but other then those small things I love my name. It's unique without being obscure and I get a lot of compliments on it. My name was number 15 for popular baby names in my birth year and in my home town, however I have personally never met another Amber.

This is my birth name, and I’ve scarcely met any other Ambers, though I’ve heard of a few in passing. It’s honestly a really great title — hard to misspell, easy to pronounce, recognizable, no real nicknames, and pretty on the tongue. Even the stone and color it comes from is lovely. I’ve received a lot of compliments on my name throughout the years. The whole “Amber Alert” business has never been an issue in my life — I don’t even think about it, honestly. That said, I do want to change my name due to the 80’s/90’s connotations, which should fade over time, but as a child actually born in that era, I don’t want to be stuck in it.

I think it's gorgeous.

I've only met one Amber (even though it's quite popular in Australia) and she is crazily eccentric.

Way too common for my taste.

I'd like it more if it wasn't so 80s/90s sounding and so popular

I have never met an Amber and I find it beautiful. It carries such a pretty image.

Cute name, fairly common.

I like this name.
