    Hmm I'm not sure.... I think it is a very strong sounding name, perhaps a good one for a boy?? Only my opinion though, best of luck with TTC

    Onyx is not my taste but if you love it, go for it.

    I like Myra from your choices. I dont mind Ramy but would go for Remy.

    Oh ONYX is my absolute favourite gemstone in the whole world (even over diamonds )

    I think it sounds a bit hard for a girl ... maybe more for a boy

    But if it's what you LOVE i would go for it (i know not everyone is in favour of my own daughter's name BUT did i care ... NOPE ... cause "WE" from the start & still do & she is now 2.5yrs)

    I'm not sure if i'd go for Remy as suggested as it's a well known brandy name ... but hey if you like brandy why not

    ... I like RYMA ... and ROMA !!!

    By the way, i'm curious now ... what DOES Onyx mean ???

    smiles4u hmm yeah been pondering over the name for a couple of days and still like it but maybe more for a boy..
    the meaning of Onyx is Crystal with veins it is generally used to help with grief and sorrow and the Onyx gem was the first semi precious stone to found in the garden of Eden..

    kimbaz You poronounce Onyx Oh - nix

    I like Myra and Sara.

    Onyx seems masculine and trying-too-hard.

    I love Sara.

    Not so keen on onyx.... Mostly because i'm not sure of how to exactly how to pronounce it (and i'm already wondering if I've spelt it wrong). I think it's kind of hard to get through life always having to spell your name and correct people in loud places!

    But hey, that's just my opinion, go with what you love.

    My little bro's favourite pokemon was Onyx, so I can only think of Japanese cartoons when i hear that name.

    I am really liking Nadya or Nadia for a girl at the moment

    My bad, I thought Onyx was pronounced On-ix. I like it, Honour is a girl's name too, and doesn't sound too different, so Onyx isn't much of a stretch from that for me.

    Have fun and all the best choosing!

    I love Onyx. It was my favourite mare's name and it was on my list but we didn't have a girl and DH didn't want me naming my babies after my horses lol.
    FWIW I think that it's pronounced the way that Nelle pronounces.

    dachloster Yeah it is pronounced that way lol I just didnt know how to put it so I gave it my best shot.. thx

    Antonia Blanche Thanx for your opinion but didnt quite understand what you meant by "trying to hard" please clarify.

    Nelle thx hun for clearing up the pronounciation in my eyes it looked like On - ix lol also loving the name Honour.

    jenjams Ive thought about Ramy but found it to be dominant for boys Remys nice too thx for your help.

    So maybe Onyx is a bit boyish but how about Tayzl? (like hazel with a T) Hope Im not being to pushing adding another name to the post but have also fell in love with this one.

    Cheers

    Hmm, I quite like Onyx, it's unusual and has a nice ring to it

    If you're trying to combine Rosa and Mary though - Rosemary?? Crazy?
