Onyx is OK, in an eccentric way. I usually find unusual gemstone names kind of tacky, but there's something charming about Onyx. It has that exotic & mystical feel to it, but it does not sound like it was taken from a trashy fantasy novel.

I generally associate gemstone names with femininity (probably because most gemstone names, like flower names, are feminine), so I think I'd rather see this name on a female. But since it's so rare that it isn't heavily used by either gender, I don't see why it couldn't work on a boy as well.
