[Opinions] Re: Sapphire
in reply to a message by number1212
Sapphire is not my style, and I generally think bling names seem like not in the finest taste. Not that I have the finest taste. I like Emerald and Diamond a little, though I would not use them for children. The sound of Sapphire is not so bad really, and the stone is one of the least tacky seeming. Until I notice the obvious FIRE in it and then it starts to seem tacky because it sounds sort of ... sexed up or something.
I dunno, I think some people can carry off Sapphire or Sa'Fyre or whatever, it's not necessarily tacky-seeming on them when I meet them. But if I were to use it, I'd feel like I was using a rather tacky name.
Sapphira seems too dramatic and glammy to me on paper. Not sure what I'd think of it in real life.
