Honest opinions guys what would you think of sisters with gem names along the lines of pearl and jade or Ruby and Amber?

Not Amethyst and Sapphire.

Sorry for posting in 30 days it’s so there’s no digital footprint of anyone saying it’s shit 😂

I know older women ( sisters) Ruby and Pearl. They are friends of my aunt, i quite like it, they are not "twee" just ordinary women,

I might wonder briefly if the parents were jewellers but otherwise probably wouldn't give it a second thought!

DP and her sister have two of the names you mention.

While they both like their names (although SIL thinks hers is a bit of a "stripper" name), they both hate the fact that their names have a "theme". It seems to be an issue of their parents not thinking of them as individuals (they used to dress them the same as kids as well, which I think has also fed into this).

They'd both much rather have first names that had absolutely no connection with each other

Unless you told me I’m not sure I’d even notice. Pearl is an awful name though

Pearl isn't awful, it is just vintage, like Ruby used to be. Some names are coming out of retirement big time.

@Gisters I know sisters with gemstone names, fine by me.

<Pedantic time - pearls, coral, jet and amber are not gemstones, they are organics>😁

Thanks I did sort of think the same thing none of the four gem names I like rhyme. So to me sounds less match than poppy and Maisie for example especially considering the average school kid dosent have a great knowledge of precious stones and once they’re adults they will be living separate lives anyway

I once knew a family whose children were all named after different models of Ford cars and vans. Gemstone names are fine.

I would think that their parents chose gemstone names for them.

A little bit twee for me.
