Yikes! In general, I don't like gemstone names; I can just about face Pearl and Ruby because they've been used for so long. Others, however ... Amethyst is really not to my taste at all. Combined with Moonstone, I just don't get it. Both parents geologists? Both parents jewellers? Both parents really wanted their child to choose her own name, so gave her one (or two!) that she'll be pathetically grateful to ditch?
