I think it's a beautiful name - a very namey word. I wish it were just a name. It's like Amber - both a color word and a "gemmy" type word. I'm not bothered about elephant tusks... I mean, I would never think of that if I met an Ivory. I think the worst thing about it is the concern that someone would take it to be evocative of race, like Ebony (regardless of the bearer's own appearance). The second worst thing is the association with soap, which isn't that bad.

So I think it's very nice to see on someone, but is hard enough to use that I think it will stay rare.
