Hurricane Opal was a Category 4 hurricane that caused severe damage along the Gulf Coast of the United States. It was the ninth hurricane and the strongest of the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season.
Besides being my favorite stone/gem, this name is an oldie but goodie. I would rather hear the name Opal than Jewel or Jade personally. Those names to me sound "trashy." Please forgive me if that is your name. In the book and movie "Because of Winn Dixie" Opal is the name of the young girl in the story.It also has a southern charm to it! This name deserves a comeback!
The Opal is the national gemstone of Australia, and the black Opal is the state gemstone of New South Wales.The Australian national women's basketball team is called The Opals because of this.
I wonder if this is solely reflective of names coming in and out of fashion, or perhaps people naming their children after their great-grandmothers.
