WDYT of Ember?

I really like this name.  It seems like a combination of more common names Emily/Amber and yes, I know it's kind of hippie-ish.  But a cute nickname could be Emmy or Em or something like that.  I was curious to see people's initial reactions.

I kind of like it.

I like it, especially with the nn Emme/Emmy.

At first (when I saw the title of the post) I wasn't sold, but it's actually kind of growing on me. Ember could be really cute, especially with the NN.

Yeah, I like it. ?

Don't really like it.  It just reminds me of a fire.

I hate it. It sounds trashy, rather than hippie to me. But I love the nn Emmy. It's way better than Amber though.

I agree. It's trashy to me, too.

Embers are like ashes. I don't like the meaning.

I don't like it. Embers are glowing coal. Not sure why that would make a nice name.

I like it.  It does have a hippie vibe to me too, although there used to be a gay bar in Portland named Ember's  lol

I like it, but I think people will still say Amber...

That's what we named one of our cats. NMS for a human.

ember = glowing charcoals on the grill.... not what i'd want to associate with a child

It's ok, the nn ideas are cute

Don't like it. Why don't you just name her Emme? That over Ember or Amber is my vote.

I don't like it, but I think people will call her Amber instead.  We have a Kylee and people call her Kaylee all the time.

Sorry ... but "trashy" is the first word that came to my mind, as well.

Bluesmoothee

Tacky.

Kind of sounds like a stripper name. On par with Bambi or something...

"Smoldering Ember, ladies and gentlemen!"

Sorry

I immediately thought 'fire'. It is just one of those nouns I just can't think of as a name. ?
