How Amber sounds
Two syllables make Amber compact enough for everyday use but long enough to carry some melody. A vowel ends Amber, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. For the ear, Amber is soft, round and flowing, which the scheme counts as a water sound. Amber has slipped in U.S. birth records in recent years, a name that now reads as timeless rather than trendy. U.S. birth records list Amber overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Say Amber slowly and the first thing the mouth does is open the throat, a movement the system files under earth. Amber is an earth name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack earth. Because earth feeds metal in the cycle of generation, Amber can also help a chart that is short on metal, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Amber would add to it.

The astrology view
For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, Amber reads as a name from their own element; for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as a companion. Amber is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
