I think of the Pokemon whenever I hear this name.
Also the name of a Pokémon. A great name for a cat or dog. I know someone who named their Aussie this name. Maybe it would be a good name for a character. Can’t imagine it on a human.
American hip-hop sensation Playboi Carti (Jordan Terrell Carter) has used this as the name for his firstborn son with his ex-girlfriend, Australian rapper Iggy Azalea.
Cool name, simple but unique. It could fit anyone regardless of gender. I see it as more of a neutral name, but maybe that's because I know a nonbinary person with it.
It's feminine or male.
It's unfortunately easy for me to develop a "gender bias" with most names. However, Onyx is a true exception, and I can picture Onyx on... just about anyone, really: feminine, masculine, in-between. This is probably because it's a very modern name and not terribly common, so it hasn't had time, per se, for a gendered perception to develop.Onyx is also my favorite gemstone name, in general.
Really connect with this name. I've had a few students of different genders who have this name and it surprisingly fits right in to a regular roster--still unique, but easy for people from various backgrounds to pronounce and also still memorable! Also, I only know of this one way to spell the name which helps a lot for the children themselves because they don't have to correct others constantly and advocate for their own name in terms of writing. This can help them not always feel like they stand out and that can be comforting for some people and shouldn't be ignored. To me, it has a dark but fun and elegant feel with the "ahh" sound to start with--like names: "Honour" "Ana" "Ardor" and "Oscar" as well as that "x" sound like "Phoenix" "Lennox" and "Felix". Overall, lots of room to explore with this name provided limited cultural expectation!
Love this name. Good for a pet name or a nickname, but maybe not as a person's real name.
I only see this name as masculine.
