Emerald is growing on me, because it is so clunky. It reminds me of a huge, garish old ring that was obviously once considered quite glamorous but it's hard to see what the appeal was. It's that "ruld" bit at the end, it has the same energy as the dusty forgotten "beauty" of names like Mildred, Ethel, Opal, Blanche, Edith, etc. Overall I prefer Esmeralda but Emerald is still pretty neat.

I wonder if pairing it with jazzier names might pep it up a bit, wake it up. I like it out front because it looks a bit "off" in the middle to me.
