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 LOVE gem names... (and organics!)

You could go full Stephen Universe with Peridot and Spinel 💚💗

But please don’t!

I think it’s ok. I once came across siblings called Harley, Mercedes, and Porsche 😳

EmeraldDreams73 · 24/09/2026 13:15

I love gemstone names but one of my dds has a flower name and one a tree, so I possibly don't have a leg to stand on...

I teach an Agnes and know several small Mauds, Idas and the like, all of which feel very much like old lady names, but in 20 years time it'll probably be all Joans and Cyrils or Dereks!

Pearl was my aunts name. it is an old name but one i think should be back in fashion.

Gettingbysomehow · 24/09/2026 13:20

They are fine, Crystal is a bit american stripper though.

Hermanfromguesswho · 24/09/2026 13:23

Pearl is a beautiful name. I think two gem stone names is fine!

Mistyglade · 24/09/2026 13:27

I’d think they had beautiful names.

Maybe not Crystal though.

Pumpkinsaregrowingnicely · 24/09/2026 13:28

I have a Ruby..
I know of 2 girls called Jade and Amber.
Lovely imo.

NotSorry · 24/09/2026 13:29

I know a 13 year old Pearl and it suits her. I think gem names are lovely

FancyKitten · 24/09/2026 13:29

Lovely! I always thought Topaz is a nice name too, there’s a TV journalist, Topaz Amoore.

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>😁

Show quote history

Surely Amber and Jet are fossil organics though, so have been turned to stone. Totally agree with you on pearl and coral though, I have a regular argument with a friend who claims her birth stone is pearl.

But to op, firstly sorry for derailing your thread. Secondly, I love the gem stone names, including Amethyst!

FancyKitten · 24/09/2026 13:33

Iggy Izalea (pop star) real name is Amethyst

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

Blimey. Who got saddled with Fiesta?! Can’t see anyone being called Focus or Mondeo. How about Cortina?

fumingrightnow1 · 24/09/2026 13:35

I genuinely wouldn't notice i really like the name Ruby

AFigureWalks · 24/09/2026 13:39

I’d wonder if the parents had aspirations for them to be on Only Fans.

Thats just weird

Silverbirchleaf · 24/09/2026 13:41

I wouldn’t really think anything, except maybe two nice names. Lots of families choose ‘flower/nature’ names for all their children.

Summerlovingtheraspberries · 24/09/2026 13:42

I would think too much about it if I’m honest.

LinearALinearB · 24/09/2026 13:43

naff

3wouldbegood · 24/09/2026 13:44

Wouldn't even notice Ruby and Amber.
Would absolutely love Topaz and Sapphire.

Macaroni46 · 24/09/2026 13:45

Sorry I think it’s a bit chavvy

WallaceinAnderland · 24/09/2026 13:45

Lots of those names, Jade, Amber, Ruby etc. are also the names of colours, so I would also bear in mind that you might accidentally end up with a colour theme.

CurlewKate · 24/09/2026 13:48

Pearl is a lovely name! Josh Widdecombe’s dd is called Pearl. Don’t know what her last name is, though…

Don't hold your breath. It is a gemstone and people are always searching for something different. I mean, who would honestly have thought (certainly of my generation) that anyone would call their child Agnes or Edith. To me they're right up there with old aunty Gladys or Ethel!

Show quote history

I think Edith is a beautiful name. Edith Swan-neck.
I really think people don't like names because they associate them with an older generation not because of anything intrinsically wrong with the name. On another thread for example Muriel was heavily objected to but it is actually a very pretty name. That's why they were popular names of their age!
Anyway OP two gems or gem related names are fine!
