Yes a beryl is a semi precious stone. It's definitely a name I'd like to see reclaimed - if you can have a Pearl or a Ruby why not a Beryl? (Or why not Emerald come to that)

I agree about the 1 letter thing though.
Like Clara but not Clare
Julia but not Julie
Maria (or Mary) but not Marie

I love the name Beryl.

Comes from the same origins as Ruby and Pearl....Beryl,Beryl,Beryl,Beryl

I love Beryl. Beryl is awesome.

Meryl is frightful.

When I was a child, saying someone was "a real Cheryl" implied they were a bit common. I wasn't in the UK, though.
