Gems as Names

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

Okay, switching to a new book (for now): Here is a list of gems that can be used as names.

*Amber
Amethyst - this is my birthstone, so I sort of like it as a name, but I'd be wary of using anything with the word 'meth' in it :-/
Anatase
Beryl
Carnelian
Cinnabar
Coral
Crystal
Diamond
Emerald
Flint
Galena
Garnet
Ivory
Jacinth
Jade
Jasper
Jet
Mica
Onyx
Opal
Pearl
Ruby
Sapphire
Topaz
Turquoise

Okay so.. I guess I don't like gem names much, lol.

I love the name ruby for some reason, but i'd probably never use it. And Cinnabar sounds like a candy bar. :P

[my-little-voice.livejournal.com]

like: coral, pearl and ruby.

Jasper
Ruby
Sapphire (actually, Sapphira)

Most are meh. Amber I'm tired of because it's sooo overused for my generation.

I can't believe it, but I know (or have known) people with the following names:

Amber
Beryl
Coral
Crystal
Diamond
Emerald
Ivory
Jade
Jasper
Jet
Mica
Opal
Pearl
Ruby
Sapphire

That is a lot of "gems" in my life!

Cinnabar. haha

A lady on my FL has a daughter named Amethyst. She calls her Amie most of the time and I like Amie.

I knew an Emerald growing up and thought it was a weird name. Almost all of those names are terrible.

So many of these just sound like stripper names. The only one I kinda like is Sapphire, but I would never use it. Opal is my birthstone, and it's gorgeous but I hate it as a name.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like Ruby also.

I know a girl named Coral. Coral Brown. Yeah, I don't approve.

I love Ruby, I would love to use it, but by the time I have kids it's going to be so popular, it won't interest me then.

I do like Beryl, Coral, Garnet, Jacinth (I prefer the French spelling, Jacinthe. I knew a girl with that name in high school.), Pearl and Ruby.

I sell Mary Kay and we have an eye shadow called Cinnabar. It's pretty popular, which is why I noticed. :P

I'm surprised at how many I like.

Amethyst
Coral
Garnet
Jade
Jet
Onyx
Sapphire (it would have to be Sapphira, though)
Turquoise (I have no idea why I like it but I do.)

Jacinta (similar) and Jasper are on my list. As for the others...meh, I kinda like:

Garnet - but only on a boy
Mica - also for a boy, I like this as Micah but that's not the same thing clearly
Ruby - quite like, as long as the kid doesn't have red hair!
Jade - is acceptable, but somewhat too typical?

The only others that even WORK as names to me would be Amber, though I hate it, same with Crystal and Pearl. Ugh.

[illy-borgia.livejournal.com]

my nickname in middle school was Topaz.... weird reason behind it

[arbus.livejournal.com]

the only one i like is ruby, and that is currently our number one girls name.

jasper is cool, as i love the nn jazz. jet is cool too, but i would never use it, except for maybe on a pet.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

Ruby - quite like, as long as the kid doesn't have red hair!

i have been so torn about this! my guy and i both have lots of red hair in our families (i have strawberry blonde hair, and he has some auburn hints in his goatee) and this is our number one name. hmph.

[chocklit-frog.livejournal.com]

Well it COULD be cute, potentially, it's not as if you're naming her Scarlett or... Rosie? lol. Better have the personality to carry it off as I'm sure she will! :P

[wolf-shadow.livejournal.com]

I use variants of gem names for most of my World of Warcraft characters :D

[bluekoala.livejournal.com]
