Yes, I actually really like both Amber and Angelique. I didn't mean anything bad by working class, i.e. not pretty or unrespectable. The case with Amber may be that you are a few years older than me. There is a Steven Levitt (economist) article that, while flawed, included a list of the top 5 girls names given almost exclusively among rich white American parents vs. the top 5 among poor white American parents during the '90s. Amber was #1, I believe, which has backed up my personal observations. The article also mentioned that many of the names currently used among poorer people had been 'introduced' as trends among the wealthy, ten or so years earlier.
