[Opinions] Re: Opal
That's really interesting. I had no idea opals were thought to bring bad luck! I just think of the beautiful colors and it's warm sound.Thank you!http://www.babynames.com/namelist/9852886

They're not bad luck if you're born in October! (Like me, haha.)

It's very likely that I'm in the minority in thinking of those connotations, so please don't let me put you off. It's just something I read about as a young and superstitious child and it's always stuck with me, I think because I found it so unfortunate that such a pretty name had those connotations. I could definitely grow to love it if a knew an Opal of any age.

No worries, it doesn't put me off it. I can absolutely understand how those things stick with a person and I'm glad you shared. It's good to know in case I were ever to use it.
