Do you know anyone with a gemstone name?
I know a Ruby, Pearl and Onyx. My mom has a friend named Opal.
I love the name Ruby but I think my mom would flip out because my dad dated one in college.
-
I don't think I know anyone personally, but I like those names. Jade is a pretty one too.
-
i love ruby, but i can't think of any other ones that i like very much. i had a car named ruby once
-
Emerald is a guilty pleasure name that I would never use. I'm just imagining DH's face if I suggested it, ha. Most of the gem names just don't sound fresh to me.
-
We're using a gemstone (Ruby) as LOs middle name.
It's a family name on DHs side. I love the name Jade, too!
-
they make me think of two things. Very sweet old ladies and strippers
-
I have a cousin who named their child Ruby. I think it's beautiful. I know a Jade. I think that's about it.
-
@blackbird: LOL. my DH says the same thing.
-
There was a girl on Big Brother named Topaz ( I think her real name was Emerald but she changed it) . I liked it.
-
My great-grandma was named Ruby. It was on my list, but my husband vetoed it!
-
@blackbird: hahaha
I love them!
-
My old Pilates instructor was named Pearl.
It was weird because I associate that name as a "grandma" name and she was a young beautiful 20 something girl! -
I know a Beryl.
-
We have friends' with a daughter named Ruby. I think it's cute.
I really like the name Opal, actually, but I still think Pearl sounds too old, though it would be a cute middle name.
-
Someone I know is naming their daughter Olivine nn Olive.
-
I really like Ruby and so does DH. It's on our girl list.. its his grandma's middle name!
My cousin is Jade
-
Love the name Ruby!
-
I know someone who named her son Azurite. Not my style but it fits her perfectly.
-
@blackbird: Strippers are the first thing I thought of when I read the title.
And the second thing I thought, after reading the post, was that Onyx is a pokemon. Which is what I would think, before gemstone, if I met someone named that.
-
@blackbird: LOL yes!
-
Does Crystal count?
In elementary school, we started a gemstone name club. We had a Crystal, Ruby, Emerald, Pearl, and Tanzanite (nn Tanzy).
They often name stripper characters Crystal.
-
@mrs. bird: My car is named Ruby! It's even my license plate (well a version of Ruby, which was already taken)
-
@NeekieRose: fun!! mine was a red isuzu trooper, what's yours?
-
@mrs. bird: Red Ford Escape...yah for read SUVs!
-
@Crystal: I think so! I know a few Crystals!
-
@blackbird: Ditto!
-
@blackbird: Hahah.
-
@Crystal: I knew a Krystal . . . she was named after the fast food restaurant Krystal because that's what her mom craved during her pregnancy!
