Re: Which names are considered tacky or trashy in your country/area? (more)

Do you get a snow crystal association from Amber? Amber for some reason is a very fiery name to me :D The opposite of Crystal which is clear, white and blue. Amber is orange and red and warm :) I really like Amber too, and the Italian version Ambra. The French Ambre is quite fashionable currently!

Ah, no... misunderstanding. Meaning that I really like Amber. Very fiery and cool - but oh so tacky to most. I like white names a lot. Nadine is very white to me, which is why we used it.

Nadine is cute. Clarisse and Nadine are very nice for sisters :) I love the classic, old French names like Eliane, Noelle, Madeleine. I hope they will make a comeback in France soon, at the moment many 4 letter, 2 syllable names are common in France and I am a little tired of all the similar sounding names I hear all the time now: Lina, Lena, Louna, Lana, Lea, Lola, Lou, Louane, Lilou ahhhhh :P I mean some are nice but they all sound so similar and there are so many of them.

How about Maylis / Mailys / Maelys etc?

I like it a lot, but it is not a classic, it only became common quite recently. At least from my personal impression. The oldest one I know is 29 years old and I know quite a few younger ones. I think names ending in -ïs and -ys are becoming really fashionable in France. A friend of my mom who is a lawyer in Paris and I guess among the trendsetters there, she is a bit of a hipster, just had a little Thaïs. Anaïs was super common too but it is getting less common now.
