Hi just wondered your thoughts on this name.

Dd2 due in October and opals are the October birthstones.

Finding girls names so hard!!

We need something quite unusual as our other dc's have uncommon named..

Thanks in advance

Our surname is so boring/common too.. Is it faddy though? I want longevity! And I don't want to go off it!

I like it.

I think a lot of people will think "fruit" as in the sweets, I did. But children get called Felix (cat food), Yasmin (contraceptive pill) and Flora (margarine) all the time so shouldn't really be an issue.
