Emerald (yes) vs. Emerald (no)

I want to name my daughter Emerald, but my MIL hates it. I was planning to call her Eme (said like Emmy) but that still doesn’t make the cut. I don’t like Esmerelda, which has been offered as an alternative several times. I don’t want to be tacky, but I adore emeralds and their lovely deep green color. I thought it would be pretty but now I’m reconsidering it... What do you think I should do? (If you like it, I do need mn suggestions as well.)

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
