Also, Amber sounds very similar to [[wp:ampere|ampere]] and can refer to a [[wp:Amber (color)|yellowish color]], representing electricity. Hence, I think this is just a perfect name for a female Electric-type leader.<br>Also, I don't think that NoA will be THAT uncreative to call her "Electra", as almost everyone else thinks. | ||
