[name_u]Ruby[/name_u], for both!! It’s such a beautiful name, so wearable and feminine without being overly frilly.

[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_u]Jade[/name_u]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite gemstone name is probably [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f].

From your list I’d choose Opal; it’s my second fave gemstone name. I love the way it has an unusual O sound but is instantly recognisable. I also have too many associations with the other names on your list (having met at least one of each) so [name_f]Opal[/name_f] feels fresher to me as a name.

probably emerald !! but if international variants are allowed, i’ll go for the french emeraude

from your list, i like pearl best, with opal close behind.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are probably [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f], [name_u]Jade[/name_u] and [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f]. I like the sound of [name_f]Crystal[/name_f] too, but it’s sort of a mean girl name lol.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite from the ones you listed is [name_u]Jade[/name_u] because I think it sounds really pretty. :slight_smile:

I love so many crystal/gemstone names, but if I had to pick a favorite overall and out of your list, I would say [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] for both! It feels so sweet, vintage, and mermaid-esque to me🐚

[name_f]My[/name_f] current favorite is [name_f]Beryl[/name_f] :green_heart:

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite from your list is [name_f]Opal[/name_f], I think it’s quite elegant and it’s my birthstone!

[name_f]Peridot[/name_f], partially because its my birthstone so I’m a bit biased and partially because Dot/Dottie is an adorable nickname.
Of your options, [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] because its my second favorite by a very narrow margin, I love the color and the sweet, fun vibes.
[name_f]Edit[/name_f]: I’m also a huge for of [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]. I can’t personally use it so I tend to forget about it but it would be tied for my first pick.

I love jade <3

[name_f]Opal[/name_f] is my favorite. Always has been! I think it’s so special and unique—and I’ve always loved that opals come in just about every color. It was a favorite of mine as a child, when I learnt it was my birthstone. 🩷

my favorite is tourmaline !

out of your list, i love opal, it’s both underrated and simple ! :smiling_face:

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] :green_heart:

Out of the others my choice would be [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], because it’s a very close second to [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] :wink:

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are tied between [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f]. I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_u]Jade[/name_u] too, although it feels very “2000’s mean girl” to me so I’d never use it.

[name_f]Opal[/name_f] is definitely my pick from your list.

[name_f]Opal[/name_f] is my favourite :heart: so naturally, I’d pick that from your list! Opals are such beautiful stones - they (along with opalite) have always been my favourite - that blue, those rainbow flickers, the magic. On a personal level, two of the schools I attended used gemstones as class/form names, and I was in ‘Opal’ for both! Also, these are more tenacious links, but my great grandma had a special opal ring, so it reminds me of her a little, and one of my first set of earrings were bought in one of my fave places and were opals, so it reminds me of that too. Beyond that, it’s just a beautiful name - the perfect four letters, the gentle strength and that O sound.

Oh gosh I love so many gemstone names :gem:

Currently I would say [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] is my favourite I just love the bejewelling sparkly feel of [name_f]Emerald[/name_f], the rich green colour imagery the name conjures up for me, associations with [name_u]Ireland[/name_u] (honestly [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] is a fab way to honour [name_u]Irish[/name_u] heritage) and the nickname [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] is adorable. On my list I have [name_f]Evie[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Emerald[/name_f].

However both [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] + [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] are gorgeous and feature on my list and I did contemplate them as options for [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] was a major middle name contender for [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is also fab. To use just one I would say [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] I just love the sweet, classic feel of her.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f]. They’re my favourite stones and my favourite colour and I’d use it as a middle :smiling_face:

From your list, it’s a tie between [name_f]Opal[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]! Opals are so magical, deep and fiery, I think it’s such a cool name, just the right side of whimsical.

[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] has a real vintage charm, both cottagecore nostalgia and fresh ocean wildness in one.
