Re: Beryl

I find it extremely difficult to like. All I hear is Barrel, and that's before I factor in that I think B names come across as homely more often than not.
I don't think the Y looks 2000s like Madisyn; it looks 1950s like Cheryl and Caryl. So depends what you mean by "modern".
If I was looking for gem/rock/mineral names in English that are rarer than Pearl, I'd prefer...
Topaz, Celestine, Amethyst, Garnet, Emerald, and probably even Peridot, Lazuli, Aquamarine, Onyx, Olivine, Charoite, Nepheline.
