NAME OF THE DAY: Garnet

πŸ“›Garnet is a πŸ’Žgemstone (for the precious stone, the birthstone of πŸ“…January) and 🌈color name (derived from Middle English gernet meaning "dark red"). 

πŸ“›NameberryπŸ’ classifies Garnet as, "one of the jewel names in use a hundred years ago, due for revival along with sisters Ruby and Pearl." Garnet ranks #956 on the US Top 1000 πŸ“› name πŸ“Š chart.

A variant of Garnet includes:πŸ“›Garnette. Garnet can also be spelled with two t's: πŸ“›Garnett and used as a boy's name. Garnet can also be a surname.πŸ“› 

Garnets live mainly in πŸ“Ohio and πŸ“West Virginia. 

I really like the name πŸ“›Garnet as I'm πŸ“…January born. πŸŽ‚ I'm a big fan of birthstone names in general however. And Garnet is one of the more unusual, less πŸ’Žjewel names πŸ“›πŸ“ƒused — unfortunately  because it's a great name. I see πŸ“›Garnet as a unisex name but it leans towards it being a boy's πŸ’™ name more so in my eyes. I absolutely love the cute, alt spelled πŸ“›Garnette if used for a girl. πŸ’—
