MP_the4pack Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 There is probably a new girl in my near future. And I think most people know I name my girls after gemstones. After Topaz, Onyx, Pearl, Diamond, Opal, Crystal, Jade, Tanzanite and Emerald names are getting hard. Amethyst is off the list right now because the short name Amy sounds too close to my current girl Emma. And I keep hoping there's a blue or white/blue in my future, so I'm hesitant to use Sapphire. So what do you guys think? Anything that might relate to China or Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramonaghan Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Ooh, just saw Olivine (the mineral in peridot). I think that's quite pretty, but I do have a cat named Olive so I might be biased.

Remolacha Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Amber is a favorite of mine (yes, I know it isn’t a mineral ) I think it would be great for a fawn or red brindle. Some of my favorite stones wouldn’t make good dog names, obsidian, malachite. Galena is a pretty name, and it’s a pretty mineral, but kind of dangerous. I like turquoise, but the tendency to shorten it to “turkey” might not be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like turquoise, but the tendency to shorten it to “turkey” might not be good I was actually thinking turquoise. And calling her Turkey. And aquamarine was also high. Calling her Aqua. Ruby I'd like to save for a fawn or brindle. Garnet is also high up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
