Comments for the name Beryl

True beryl is actually clear, not pale green. [noted -ed]

Beryl Bainbridge is one of my favorite authors. *Beryl* is a great name and rolls effortlessly off the tongue.

My daughter's name is Jacy Beryl, and everyone loves it. It makes a good middle name.

I like this name, but people seem to have trouble figuring out how to pronounce it. (I don't get that since they don't seem to need any help with Meryl)

Beryl Stapleton is a character in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Beryl has always seemed like an elderly name to me.

It sounds hopelessly old-fashioned, like the name of a grandmother, or some middle-aged woman who dresses in worn-out, loose-fitting clothes and wears ugly glasses from the 70s. Sheryl at least sounds pretty. Even Meryl is better.

Beryl--Barrel? Please, if you're going to live in a English-speaking area, do your daughter a favor and do NOT name her this! Although I admit the gemstone is very pretty.

The female protagonist from the spinoff novel of Devil May Cry 2 was named Beryl. She is very determined and feisty, and I think the name suits her well.

Beryl looks pretty written out, and its origin is cool and all, but I can't help associating it with the word "barrel".

Beryl is a nice name. Say it like BEAR-UL not BAR-AL. It's my middle name, after my grandmother. I like how it rolls off the tongue. It very nice.

I think Beryl is a nice name, and I can really see it on a little girl under 5, and as an old name as well. But it is relatively unheard of nowadays, which is a real shame, because I think it would really suit a young child. :)

Queen Beryl- The the first major villain in every version of the Sailor Moon series.

This is a also a boys' name in Yiddish, as a nickname for the name Ber. I first encountered it in some Sholem Aleichem stories, so I have a hard time seeing it as a girls' name.

Famous English ballerina Dame Beryl Grey (born Beryl Elizabeth Groom in 1927).

There is a children's book called Beryl's Box, which I love!

Barrell. Enough said.

I think this name is very cute in theory and I like the stone. However, it simply sounds like "barrel," which makes it rather unusable as a name for a real child.

It's pronounced beh-rill - it's never reminded me of barrel.
