[Opinions] Re: Jade (m)
in reply to a message by Ani
I actually had a conversation like this with someone, if they HAD to pick flowery names for their son, what would they pick? And they said Iris and Aster. I came up with Clover (an idea I still love), Fern, Poppy, Lys, and Jonquil. I also liked Aspen, which is apparently just for girls? I had no idea.
For gems, there are more options:
Opal "Opie" has heavy retro vibes to me
Topaz
Emerald (that "rald" makes me think of Gerald, Reginald)
Garnet
Chalcedony "Ced"
Cinnabar
Coral - I love this for a girl, but boy-Coral has more of that 1930's energy, just like Opal, Garnet, and Fern.
Diamond - this one actually has some historical precedence
Feldspar (love this one. Also reminds me of a flower name, Larkspur/Delphinium!)
Haüyne
Turquoise

Emerald, Garnet & Diamond are cool. I vaguely remember a discussion over Opal “Opie.” Coral is nice as well, but reminds me of Andrew Lincoln’s character in The Walking Dead yelling for Carl.
Iris would work nicely, I love love love Iris for a girl. Aster and Aspen also work very easily. Turquoise is interesting.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Haüyne or Chalcedony.
Thanks for sharing. :)
