Opal

[Anonymous]

I like Opal. I had a great-aunt with the name, and think of it as a little, old, lady name, but as OP indicated, those names are cycling around again. I like it infinitely better than Euphemia.

I don’t think most people track birth stones. I barely know my own. I do, however, think that opals are one of the prettier and more interesting stones.

I think I’d keep the middle name simple and generic:

Opal Anne
Opal Marie
Opal Jean
Opal Louise
Opal Beth
Opal Sue

All sound like names from The Dukes of Hazzard.

The superstition that Opals are bad luck unless you're born in October.

I already said that Opal is ok, but if you want another option, Olympia/Olimpia is one.

To be clear, this is not a joke post, I'm actually curious is we are related. Opal and Pearl are deceased, but Ruby is still alive.

Really? Never heard of that. But I am born in October, so I guess it's not something I'd ever need to be concerned about.

I think of Opal Cortlandt from “ All my children”
