I was talking with a friend today and the name "Amber" was mentioned. I decided that I think it's a pretty name, and if I were the type to keep a notebook of potential names for children, I'd write it in there.

Mahogany would be good, though. As in, hand-carved.
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of a book from elementary school, amber brown is not a crayon. anyone else read it?
ReplyDeleteI personally know a man named Blue.
ReplyDeleteBlue Flores, to be exact.
He's a mere bunch of blue flowers.
