  1. I was listening to the Kari Jobe song, Embers, and I immediately knew that’s what I wanted to name my baby girl. I want her to be fierce and ignite the world with her presence. She’ll start as an ember then grow into a flame.

  2. Before we chose Ember, I had a whole list of baby names for boys and girls and I just knew that had to be the names I decided with and ended up not using any part of any of the names I had listed. Ember popped in my head while taking a shower with my boyfriend and we both just fell in love with it. Ember relates to fire and she will be a Sagittarius which is a fire sign and I just think that’s the perfect fit. One thing I do dislike is that when I say her name is Ember, people think I am saying Amber so I hope this isn’t an issue once she is older as well.

  4. Ember is a nature themed name that fit with our two other children – Stone and Lotus. We like to be outdoors and camp. It also has a connect to our Christian faith and the symbolism to Light in the Bible.

  7. Her name is Emberleena. Y’all don’t have it. So had to pick Ember.
    I love my baby girl’s name Emberleena. No one else has her name.
    She was 7 pounds and 9 oz when born..she is now 11 pounds even. She was a week and two days pass her due date.
    She is beautiful and I am so bless and thankful for her.

  8. We love the name Ember for our little girl. It fits her perfectly. We do dislike how often it gets mistaken for Amber. But her nickname is Em and so I think that helps people.

  9. She is firey and strong. I hate that people call her Amber instead of Ember. We saw the name on a list of uncommon names and we fell in love with it.
