[Opinions] Re: Turquoise
My first instinct was to say I like it, because my first instinct was that it's a pretty word, based upon the way it looks. But then I thought about it more. The first syllable--"turk". And then the second--"oize." And it would be easy to shorten to "turkey." Nah.

That's exactly how I feel. It's a pretty gem and color, but the actual word has an unpleasant combination of syllables, along with no nn.

maybe the word coming from a different language would work better... like Firuza or Fairuz. Still nms, but better... and they're "real names".
