原文: Normally I love names that start with "O" (the letter "o" tends to draw my eye), and I think the Opal stone is gorgeous in its many color varieties. However, as a name... my tongue trips over the second syllable. I could never use this, or the elaboration Opaline, as a name.
原文: Opal is the name of my 6 month old rescue pure white mini-Rex bunny. She came with her name and it fit her so perfectly that I didn't even consider changing it. I didn't know until reading this site that it was so old fashioned though. Sounds like it fits into the modern world of girl names just fine.
原文: 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!
原文: This is such a beautiful, rare name. (♥ó㉨ò)ノ♡ I think it's seriously harsh calling it "ugly". ಠ╭╮ಠ I don't mind at all that this name is considered old-fashioned & I LOVE how it's the birthstone of October! (#⌒∇⌒#)ゞ.
原文: 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.
原文: Opals may be beautiful, but as a name, it just sounds really ugly! The 'o' sound stressed, the ''pulll'' sound following it. It's just ugly in its short entirety. It's very old-fashioned too.
原文: In the Middle Ages, opal was considered a stone that could provide great luck because it was believed to possess all the virtues of each gemstone whose color was represented in the color spectrum of the opal. However, modern superstition attributes bad luck to the stone, though some believe this is avoided if opal is the owner's birthstone (that is, the owner was born in October) or if the stone is a gift. Even under the last czar at the beginning of the 20th century, it was believed that when a Russian of any sex, of any rank, saw an opal, amongst other goods offered for sale, he or she would not buy anything more, since, in the judgement of subjects of the czar, the opal embodied the evil eye. It's possible that the stone's extreme fragility (when compared to other gemstones) has contributed to this bad reputation.
原文: This is my name, and I love it. My mother told me she named me this because of the gem. She said she loved that an Opal has a milky white (innocent) outside, but still has a fire (spunk) on the inside, and that's how a girl/woman should be. Stay nice and sweet, but have a fire and spunk inside.

翻译文: 我喜欢这个名字,因为它简单而美丽,很像实际的Opal石头,这是我最喜欢的宝石之一。
原文: I like this name because it's simple and beautiful, much like the actual Opal stone, which is one of my favourite gemstones.
原文: I think I once heard, sorry if I am wrong, that an opal is actually meant to be unlucky? If so, and you're one of those superstitious people, perhaps this isn't the best name for your child.
原文: Opal was the name of Opal Whitely, a woman who became very famus in the 20's for her childhood diary, which she published, but people accused her of fraud. This is a very interesting story that almost no one knows about, I would recommend it.
