[Opinions] Re: Opal
in reply to a message by whim
Opal is another one of those names where I love the idea so much more than the reality - in this case, I love the gem (and the image of the gem in my mind) associated with the word much more than I would actually like being called it. Opal, like Lilith, is genuinely difficult for me to say at times (the -pal part, in my accent, often seems slurred).While opals and pearls are probably my favorite stones, Pearl I can envision myself using as a middle name at least. Opal... not so much.
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):

I can see what you mean about the name sounding off when you say it. I have a few names that are like that for me.I'm iffy on Pearl. It would be a nice alternative to Opal given it's gem status and similar sound. Though I don't find the -URL sound to be very attractive.
