Help[Opinions] Re: Opal
in reply to a message by Perrine
Funny, I've heard that opals are thought to be bad luck.
I do like the name. As a gem name it's kind of a happy medium: not as slick as Jade, not as down-home as Pearl, not as perky as Ruby, not as out there as Sapphire, not as well-used as Amber …
I don't like it well enough to use it for a first name, but it is pretty.
I do, however, associate it with the character in the Pickles comic strip. :) There don't seem to be any other famous Opals.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
