    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..

    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.
