This is a beautiful name. It gives the impression that the bearer is a rare and beautiful person, a gem.

The Emerald represents love and success. It's perfect!

When I think of Emerald I think of old Ireland with its brilliant green hills. It is a strong name with a lot of personal meaning.

I reckon Emerald is cool name.

Emeralds are my favorite gems so the name is awesome. I have only met one person with this name and she seemed very unique!

Emerald is a wonderful, exotic name.

This is an absolutely perfect name, part of the reason being that my birthday is in May, making my birthstone the emerald. Either way, it's gorgeous.

I think the meaning, in this particular case, is really funny, because Emerald is a character in me and my friends' stories, who is anything but loving, although her boyfriend, Pyro, loves her at an almost stalkerish level. But she got the name for her green eyes.

If I ever have a little girl I will call her Emerald but Emmie will be her nickname!

This is a hideous, ugly name and anyone who names their child Emerald should be cursed.

This name is beautiful. It also reminds me of the city of Seattle which is called the Emerald City, which makes me like this name more.

-- Rachelgirl1989  5/29/2008

This is such a gorgeous name. It makes me think of power, strength and excitement!

-- Sophannagh  7/20/2008

Emerald is a beautiful, warm, sensible name. Emeralda is also a pretty name. It's feminine but not too girly. Emma is such a cute nickname!

-- Kayla_147  8/10/2008

This would be a great name for an Irish girl, as in the Emerald Isle. Don't take any notice of that stupid anonymous comment above.

"One short day, in the Emerald City."

From the play, "Wicked", where the Wizard of Oz is. I guess a city can be a famous bearer.

Seems pretty cheap as a name.

-- Kerules  6/2/2009

My name is Emerald and I hate it. I just go by Emmy because it's embaressing. People think it's a cool name unless it's YOUR NAME!

-- emerald8  6/9/2009

I used to really like this name, and even used it on a ragdoll I made. Now I think it sounds a little silly on a real person. It just doesn't come across the same way as some other gemstone names, like Pearl or Ruby, which seem doable as people names.

-- Anyechka  7/27/2009

When I think of this name, I think of the gem-- beautiful and shiny. If you had this nickname, you could have the nickname Emmy.

-- -Julia-  7/28/2009

Emerald sounds tacky on a real person. Why not name your daughter Esmeralda if you wanted a name with the same meaning?
