Pearl vs. Opal vs. Beryl

My husband really wants to use an uncommon gemstone name (his two sisters are Ruby and Amber and he wants to keep up the family tradition), but we’re having a hard time settling on one. We really dislike Ruby, and we’re down to these three. Thoughts? Do they sound too old fashioned?

Genie's Mailbag

Carina in Canada
Dear Genie, I need you to help me find a Greek name for a girl. I've already used Theodore and Sebastian for her siblings. But every other Greek girl's name I see is either too pretentious, hard to pronounce, or just too popular now. The only name I can picture using is Caroline, but it's not Greek!
Baby Name Genie:
The Greeks would name her Charissa Zoe. Then, they would stuff her in a wooden horse and give her to the Trojans. So, my advice would be to borrow the name but not the rest of their tactics.
