Help[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Diamond
in reply to a message by number1212
Ehhh I’m gonna keep it 100% here.
Diamond has never really caught my eye as a name, I think I might’ve known one in the past, but it wasn’t a remarkable name or anything. Diamonds are precious stones, but the name itself just feels a tad tacky to me. Like almost materialistic. I can’t really see it in a professional setting as a name but somehow at the same time I can. Diamond doesn’t have the attractive, elegant, and boldness compared to Ruby, the quiet familiarity of Pearl where it’s beautiful, but not too flashy and just pure. The unusualness of Emerald, or the soft, humble, and refreshing coolness of Garnet or Peridot. I like most nature names, but this ain’t it. Basically, Diamond just feels like it’s doing too much. Like trying to be something it’s not. Diamonds are overrated rocks anyways.
On the last part - I am not an African-American but I am a black American and I have seen some people with names like this. I have the firm belief that really any name can fit any type of person, so no; I don’t think it would be weird on a white person.
On the brighter side, Diamond is clear, somewhat pretty, and I think of that song “We’re beautiful like Diamonds in the sky! Shine bright like a Diamond!”
