I've got a white opal necklace that's been in the family since before the First World War, and yes, it is lovely. But I dislike gem names in general; can't think of one that I'd use unless you count Coralie (but not Coraline or Coral). Opal wants to be a joke or cartoon name - Olive Oyl, Opal Otter, Pearl Persimmon, that kind of thing.
