I stumbled across the name, Opal for my baby girl a couple of weeks ago. It’s actually my favourite stone and the birth stone for October which is when she’s due…I’m thinking Ada, (big sis) and Opal sound quite cute together? I dont seem to be able to shake it off… I have so far played with Marla, Liv, Margot and Agnes but Opal…? Feels somehow special. What do you think? And what second name would you pair with it?

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Opal[/name_f], and I think it goes perfectly with [name_f]Ada[/name_f]!
I’d pair it with something like: [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], Beatrix/Beatrice, [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_u]Anne[/name_u].

Oh, Ada & Opal are so perfect together, wow! I think Opal is lovely. Unique but not weird, vintage but with a sound that doesn’t sound stuffy or too old, and cute nicknames!
As for a middle name, it depends on her sister’s middle! I’d personally prefer something long and romantic with Opal. Think Opal Juliet, Opal Arabella, Opal Helena, Opal Rosemary etc. but I can picture a lot of other combos!
If not Opal, my second favourite with Ada would be Marla!

It makes me think of Because of [name_u]Winn[/name_u] [name_f]Dixie[/name_f], which is for me a beautiful association. It’s not my personal favorite but the association gives me a fondness for it.

I absolutely adore [name_f]Opal[/name_f]! I think it’s a great way to honor people born in [name_u]October[/name_u], and I love the connection to her due date! It’s a name with such rich and long history, and it’s familiar and easy to say and spell, but it’s never been common. I think it hits such a sweet spot, plus has all the lovely references to the stone and to literature — like a previous poster, I grew up with Because of [name_u]Winn[/name_u] [name_f]Dixie[/name_f]. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is gorgeous with [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and I really think it’s a perfect choice for you!
I think [name_f]Opal[/name_f] could pair well with some names from your list as middles — maybe something like [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] or [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]! If those don’t strike your fancy then maybe (repeats are seconds!) …

[name_f]Opal[/name_f] is such a gorgeous name. So so special. 
If you’re feeling that connection… then it may just be the one!! [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is a very charming sister set. Feels very vintage, glamorous, rowdy, and bubbly.
I’d pair a warm vintage name with [name_f]Opal[/name_f] in the middle spot! (Asterisks by my very favorites!) Perhaps…

I’m not sure where you’re from, but in [name_u]Sydney[/name_u], Australia, the transport cards for trains and buses are called “Opal Cards” (like how in [name_u]London[/name_u] they are called Oyster Cards), so the name would not be useable here!
so personally, I would not use the name due to that connotation - just thought that might be important to know!
I’m from [name_u]England[/name_u] living in [name_u]South[/name_u] [name_f]Africa[/name_f] and our daughter will be half [name_f]English[/name_f] half [name_m]German[/name_m], so unless we move to Australia I guess it doesn’t apply… But- what I have been a bit concerned about was Opel(different spelling) the German/internationally known car brand…
