Omg, I also have aunts named Opal, Ruby and Pearl, are they/you from Tennessee??


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.



Canadian. I think there was one named Hazel as well.

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.

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