Sapphira

What are your thoughts? It's not my favorite or anything, so feel free to be as honest as you want. I anticipate many of the comments will go more in a stripper direction, and while I understand that point of view, I'd also like some more open-minded opinions on if you actually knew or imagined knowing a real normal girl/woman who was NOT a stripper, do you think you'd get used to it or even like it?

I just think it has so much potential. I love the stone (my birth stone) and I love the way the name looks written down and the way it sounds too. I just wonder if it's a hopelessly stigmatized name.

And what is it about Ruby, Opal, and Pearl that makes them more acceptable as names anyway?

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.

Edit: No, I do not mean Sapphire. I mean Sapphira. (sa-FEAR-uh or sa-FIE-rah) Separate but obviously related. I would've thought that was obvious, but I guess some of you haven't heard the name version before.

I really like it actually...

I don't think of strippers, i think of a very wacky super religious black transvestite who wears THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS clothes ever (even would be on a woman but for a man it's crazy!) He's a bit of a local celebrity, just because he's so unique & he goes by the name of Sapphire.

(just to give an indication of how over the top he is... i was forced to go to midnight mass last christmas eve, the best thing that happened was Sapphire, turning up 15 minutes late dressed as one of the wise men.. huge head dress & hat thingy teamed with a long cape of some sort- in all seriousness, apparently that's his outfit every year. He walked down the aisle to get communion & i couldnt keep a straight face!)
