Comments for the name Emerald

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.

From the American Heritage Dictionary:

em·er·ald (ĕm'ər-əld, ĕm'rəld) n.
A brilliant green to grass-green transparent variety of beryl, used as a gemstone.

[Middle English emeraude, from Old French, from Medieval Latin esmeralda, esmeraldus, from Latin smaragdus, from Greek smaragdos.]

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Although Emeralds are beautiful the name is tacky. Pearl and Ruby are okay, but Emerald? No, No, No!

Some of you all are so mean, my name is Emerald, and I don't like it and I am already self-conscious about it and you guys say those horrible things. Way to boost someone's self esteem down.

Just ignore them, it's only their opinion. You have a very unusual and beautiful name and some people can't see past the fact that it's quite new as a name, whereas the other gemstone names mentioned (Pearl and Ruby) have been in use for a long time. It's cool to have a rare name!

My name is Emerald. At least once a week someone tells me how beautiful and unique my name is. My name has never held me back and I LIKE being the only Emerald I know. I'm not just another Emily, Ashley, or Jennifer.

I love emeralds! I didn't think about it being a name, but I actually really like it!

No offence, but I simply don't see the appeal of “names” that are in fact words. And as Emerald8 said, people who think this is a cool name should rename themselves, not impose it on their kids who might think otherwise.

(to Emerald8: Thank your parents for that. :) No seriously, pretty much every kid gets teased about their name at some point, get over it. Emerald is not the worst name out there by far. Just imagine you ended up Oralie. ;))

Wow, everybody's saying how it's not a suitable name. I just CHANGED my name to Emerald lol.

I think it's a spunky alternative to Emma :) and it's better than Esmeralda. Please don't feel bad, Emerald8. I think your name is great! Don't worry, I won't use it as a first name. It'd make an interesting middle name, though.
