Comments and insights on the name Ember: | Edit

Our 16 year old daughter's name is Ember Colleen. We've never really met another Ember, though we've heard of others. We've never had teasing or any problems, other than people thinking it's Amber. That doesn't last long. She likes the name a lot. Sometimes family members will call her Emby or Emby Pooh, but we've heard no derrogatory nicknarmes. We came up with the idea while watching a campfire going out. It was so beautiful, but had so much potential. It did not flaunt its strength, but it demanded respect. And no one wanted to leave before it was gone.
