  1. I named my daughter this, after the protagonist of the book “The Ordinary Princess” which was a favorite of mine as a teen. We call her Ame for short!

  2. I was one of the 5 births in 1984. I’m a little disappointed so many people are naming there children Amethyst. It kinda takes away from the uniqueness and reactions when you share your name. Like Michael or Karen

  7. We chose the name Amethyst because it is not a common name, its her dads favorite color, and the meaning behind the name means alot to her father and I. We love everything about her name. Nicknames are kind of hard to come up with though.
