Diamond gets lots of eye-brow raises in the U.S.
In fact Jade and Jasmine would be considered less classy than Ruby or Pearl.
Opal, Amethyst and Beryl would be in the "uncommon" and "slightly weird" category (even though I like them).

The spelling thing might affect Jasmine. I know a bunch of girls named variation like Jazzmyn.
DH really, really loves this name. I just couldn't bring myself to consider it because it does have that tacky vibe.
We ran into the same problem with Tiffany :(
I don't know the car / Opal association. I think most people have just forgotten about Opal really. No idea why it didn't hit the hipster crowd along with Ruby. I am guessing people have relegated it to middle name status.
