Someone posted about Months of the Year names like June and April, so I thought I'd follow up and ask:

What gemstone names do you all like?

List of some traditional "gemstone" names:

Ruby
Opal
Pearl
Jade
Sapphira (Sapphire)
Esmeralda (Emerald)
Amethyst
Coral


I can't think of any more right now but I know there must be. I really like Ruby and Opal and that's about it.

Ruby- kind of trendy nowadays, my best friend is Ruby, but 19 years ago it wasnt so popular.
Opal- bit old fashioned
Pearl- again, old fashioned
Jade- way too trendy, i don't like it.
Sapphira (Sapphire)- i was close to being called sapphire! its weird, kind of cool i suppose
Esmeralda (Emerald)- i LOVE Esme which is a form of esmeralda... not that i like the full name. I quite like the name Emerald actually.. another best friend is called Emma Aulds, pronounced Emeralds.
Amethyst- dont like it as a name
Coral- i'd call a fish Coral.. i do know someone with the name actually.

Amber - like
Crystal- hate
Ebony- hmm i quite like this
Garnet- hate
Ione- (lilac coloured gem) It's different, i like it.
Jet- adore this for a boy
