I don't like it, sorry OP. Do you have any other names you like?

hungryhippie · 08/10/2018 19:57

I like it! It sounds pretty to me.

Love it. But that’s because The Ordinary Princess was my favourite book as a child.

Some real prejudice against sex work and stripping on this thread. What's so wrong about being a stripper?

Also strippers usually choose their own stage names for dancing so the fact that there are strippers called something is indicative of it being a name a woman would choose for herself

I know a little girl named Amethyst, lovely little one, sometimes goes by Amey. I think it's a nice name though my favourite gem name is Olivine.

I think it's a pretty sounding word and I like the idea of it, but I wouldn't want to be called it so it's a no. It does sound a bit strippery and is a bit of a mouthful.

No to amethyst, just no!

There have been a couple of threads about this name in the last 6 months or so, so you aren't the only ones who think it's a nice name! I quite like it. I would not choose it myself but I think it's a bit like Indigo or Phoenix - it would really suit a certain type of child.

When I was about ten or eleven i loved the name Esmeralda because it seemed sort of emerald-ish.Blush
