Thoughts on Topaz?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I love it! One of my favorite gem stones. Plus I love crystals! (my other half makes jewellery and we're into the geology side of them).

Shadow1234 · 02/10/2018 14:16

I really like it! (If its for a girl)

tenbob · 02/10/2018 14:19

It's a bit stripper-y, sorry

Wolfiefan · 02/10/2018 14:21

Lovely for a cat. Not a child’s name really.

SeaLionsOnMyShirt · 02/10/2018 14:51

Reminds me of a Louise Bagshawe character, sorry.

NarcolepticOuchMouse · 02/10/2018 14:59

Sounds like a stripper name, sorry. How about Garnet?

Eleanor90 · 02/10/2018 15:05

Don’t like it, sorry. How about Opal, Tulip or Inez?

LemonysSnicket · 02/10/2018 15:09

She was one of the Trollz in the Trollz tv show

Rebellia · 02/10/2018 15:25

What are her friends going to call her when she's a teenager?

Toe? Pazz? Not exactly very appealing options.

Way too alternative/try hard in my opinion. Fine for a cat, not for a child who has to grow up to become a working adult.

Stripper

Polkasq · 02/10/2018 16:10

I think it sounds nice. Of the gemstone names I like Amber too.

CarolDanvers · 02/10/2018 16:11

I love it. I'd never use it though, too much sneering.

Melstarrynight · 02/10/2018 16:14

Stripper or horse. Sorry

Honey2468 · 02/10/2018 16:21

I think it’s lovely!

alfiesmam · 02/10/2018 16:23

It’s a chain of petrol stations in Ireland

CalonGlas · 02/10/2018 16:27

A lot depends on your surname.

Topaz Jones - quirky!

Topaz Montaya - "born Phyllis Bludge in Witchita in 1902, the Hollywood starlet found fame as the Pillsbury Dough Girl of 1920..." etc.

RangerLady · 02/10/2018 16:41

I've met one! In Essex. It's not a name I would go for personally.

seeingdots · 02/10/2018 16:51

I quite like it. Makes me think of the character in I Capture the Castle. Wouldn't use it myself though.

Secretlifeofme · 02/10/2018 16:54

One of my cats is called Topaz, so it's a no from me, sorry.

HeadHeartandSoul · 02/10/2018 17:16

I Capture the Castle ...

ZebraKid71 · 02/10/2018 21:59

There is a LG at my daughters nursery called topaz. Her parents call her topsy. I wasn't a fan at first but it has definitely grown on me.

MadMaryBoddington · 02/10/2018 22:03

I like it.

RiverTam · 02/10/2018 22:06

Yes, Topaz was the stepmother in I Capture the Castle.

It works for an adult but I think could be hard for a child to deal with.

AfterSchoolWorry · 02/10/2018 22:10

As in the petrol station?! Confused

PavlovaFaith · 02/10/2018 22:14

I once had a goldfish called Topaz!

Children have been called Sapphire, Opal, Gem(ma), Ruby...

So why the heck not?
