Back when we were just starting to come up with names for future babies, DH really wanted to have a daughter named after me, just like he'll have a son named after him. I have a hard time picturing myself naming my daughter Amber, though. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't think of a good first name if I have Amber as a middle name, and I'm uncertain if there are any good variations of the name out there for me to use it in the first position (I once thought of Amberlyn, but that didn't hold water).

Amber, mommy to Hazel Dawn (2) and August

My husband and I like Amberly (or Amberley) for a girl.

There was a girl on the most recent cycle of America's Next Top Model named Ambreal. (am-bree-al) I'd never heard it before; it sounds pretty.

well I once went to school with a girl named Ambreen which I always thought was very pretty (prn like Amb from amber and the reen is like Kathleen but w/ an r instead of an l)


lets see what else... a combo of a Am- name with a Ber- middle name?

Amabel
Amanda
Amelia
Amara/Amaris

Berit
Bernadette
Beryl


or another precious stone... like Garnet or Ruby? or a color like Scarlett?

While I'm not usually a fan of naming daughters after their mothers, I think Amber makes a great sister to Hazel! I don't know, the names just really seem to "work" together. At least to my ears, lol :)

If you want something "inspired by" your name, as opposed to actually using the same name, you could also consider other "color" names and "gem" names, since Amber fits into both of those categories (yes, I know, not really a gem, but still lots of people think of it in that family of names).

Thank you, everyone ^_^ Every now and then I feel like giving up and just having an Amber Rose, and when I was a kid I wanted to be named Amberlee (back when I thought a name ending in -er just couldn't be pretty). I had thought of using my mn, but my mn is Hunt, and I really dislike the name Hunter. I like several of those name options. Thanks, everyone!


What about Ambrosia? How does that sound to everyone?

I know I liked Ambreal too, as well as Amberley, maybe Ambre or Ambry? It does seem harder to pair Amber up using it as a middle name. Hope it helps.
