I think the Opal ring association would be cute, definitely not vain! The reason I’m back and forth with it is because I think of the beautiful opal gemstone (which is also my birthstone) which makes me like it, but at the same time I’m not sure on the actual sound of it.
The animal actually gives Elkan / Elkanah some appeal for me, and now that I revisited this Elkan really isn’t a bad name at all.
And thanks for the pronunciation help, I do like Tihomir!
