No, this trope isn't about people named after rock stars. Some fictional characters (and some real people) are named after things that can be dug from the ground, such as rocks, gems, metals, and minerals. Naming women after jewels is the least conspicuous version of this — it is quite common for girls to be given names like Ruby, Opal, or Crystal. Using other variants tends to attract attention. The geological Sub-Trope of Scientific and Technological Theme Naming and by extension, Theme Naming. The line for elemental metals would likely depend on how likely someone without a formal scientific education would be aware of the metal's existence, so characters named Gold and Silver would be this trope while ones named, say, Vanadium and Yttrium would be Scientific and Technological Theme Naming. Compare Wealth's in a Name, since a gemstone name can be used to indicate moneyed status. |

Tales Series Tales of Hearts is heavily themed around gemstones and rocks, and as such most characters are named after them. The protagonists include Shing Meteoryte, Kohaku Hearts, Hisui Hearts, Innes Lorenz(inite), Beryl Benito, and Kunzite. Kohaku and Hisui's names are Japanese for Amber and Jade respectively. There's also Lithia Spodumene, whose name refers to lithium, which is present in spodumene mineral. Supporting characters have names like Chalcedony, Peridot, Paraiba, and Labrador(ite), and minor villains are named Grossular and Kornerupine. Major villains are named Corundum, Incarose (a poetic description of rhodochrosite), Chlorseraph and Clinoseraph (two brothers, named after clinochlore and seraphinite). The Big Bad himself is Creed Graphite. In fact, the only major character who is not named after a rock is Gall Gruner, added in R version. This is a hint that he is not from this world. In Tales of the Abyss, we have Jade, his sister Nephry (Nephrite), and childhood friend Saphir (Sapphire). In a manga bonus chapter, Jade and Saphir are seen going to school with a young man named Jasper, all of which suggests that these kind of names may be somewhat traditional in Malkuth. Tales of Berseria: Eleanor shares her name with a precious gemstone also called "Eleanor" that her Doomed Hometown had previously passed down and guarded for generations. |

Arc Rise Fantasia names all cities and towns after precious stones: Diamant - diamond, Opalus - opal, Jada - jade, and Topazion - topaz. Other settlements are a bit more complicated cases. Carbunculus is a corruption of carbuncle, a name for an almandine gem, cut in a specific method. Batrachites is a mythical stone supposedly found in frogs. Ebur is Latin for ivory. Antrax is anthracite, a type of coal. Benetnasch is an exception, being named afer a star. | |

In the Discworld books, all trolls are named in some way after rocks or minerals. Female trolls may have the names of precious stones (such as "Ruby"), whereas males tend to be named for more mundane minerals or geological terminology (such as "Detritus"). Trolls even grow to look like the specific minerals for which they are named, making these Prophetic Names — a phenomenon which is called "metamorphorical rock" in-setting, but which isn't actually understood there. One book, on the other hand, features a troll called Big Jim Beef, which is explained as a "macho" nickname, similar to a human being called Rocky. Additionally, the word "rock" itself to refer to a troll generically is a rather nasty insult, though a troll might call himself Rock as a proper name (such as Galena using "Rock Cliffe" for his Stage Name in Moving Pictures). | |

Agate from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 names her Blade Specials and Battle Skills after gemstones. Her name also counts, but in-universe it's inverted - she wants to find a new myneral and succeeds in the end of her Blade Quest. The party then proceeds to name it after Agate. | |

On Trollz, almost all the characters have rock, mineral and/or gemstone-themed first names. To name some examples: The BFFL (the main five characters) are named Amethyst, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz and Onyx—their boyfriends are named Coal (for Amethyst), Rock (for Ruby), Alabaster (for Sapphire), Jasper (for Topaz) and Flint (for Onyx) and their main rivals are named Coral, Opal and Jade. One possible exception to this trope is a minor character named Nicki—while not confirmed, it's possible that "Nicki" is short for 'Nickeline', a type of mineral containing 43.9% nickel and 56.1% arsenic. |

Pokémon: Several game titles feature this. Second-generation games Gold, Silver, and Crystal; third-generation games Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald; and the fourth-generation games Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. These names carried over to some characters in the manga. Most Gym Leaders have names referencing their type specialty, so Rock-, and Steel-type Leaders fall into this as well: Brock, Jasmine, Roxanne (but not Roxie, who's a Poison-type Leader), Roark (similar to both "rock" and "ore"), Byron, Grant ("granite"), and Olivia ("olivine"note Also the name of Jasmine's city; it also overlaps with her own region's Floral Theme Naming). This could also extend to Ground-type Leaders Giovanni (referencing "geo,") and Clay. Many rock/ground Pokémon named this way. Examples include Geodude, Graveler, Sandslash, Sandshrew, Regirock, Lunatone, Solrock. As for Japanese names, from the fifth generation, there's Ishizumai and Iwaparesu. "Ishi" is "stone" and "Iwa" is "rock". Their English names are Dwebble and Crustle (as in Earth's crust- it literally carries a chunk of crust on its back). Pokémon Colosseum and XD have the Orre region, which is derived from "ore". Then there are the individual location names: Phenac City (phenacite), Pyrite Town, Agate Village, and Realgam Tower (realgar). |

Tales of Hearts is heavily themed around gemstones and rocks, and as such most characters are named after them. The protagonists include Shing Meteoryte, Kohaku Hearts, Hisui Hearts, Innes Lorenz(inite), Beryl Benito, and Kunzite. Kohaku and Hisui's names are Japanese for Amber and Jade respectively. There's also Lithia Spodumene, whose name refers to lithium, which is present in spodumene mineral. Supporting characters have names like Chalcedony, Peridot, Paraiba, and Labrador(ite), and minor villains are named Grossular and Kornerupine. Major villains are named Corundum, Incarose (a poetic description of rhodochrosite), Chlorseraph and Clinoseraph (two brothers, named after clinochlore and seraphinite). The Big Bad himself is Creed Graphite. In fact, the only major character who is not named after a rock is Gall Gruner, added in R version. This is a hint that he is not from this world. |

The gems in Land of the Lustrous are named after the minerals their bodies are made of. The main character is Phosphophyllite, and other prominent characters include Cinnabar, Rutile, Diamond, Bort (rough, low quality diamonds), Antarcticite, Ghost Quartz, and Cairngorm. The only exception to the theme naming is their leader, Kongou/Adamant, because he’s an artificial creation, and the substance his body is made of (a lattice of hexagonal diamonds) does not occur naturally. | |

There are only three that don't: Agent Chimera (Tiger's Eye) and Agent Nightingale (Pearl and Obsidian) consider their jewel-based codenames to be too long and cumbersome for everyday usage. Agent Silk, for reasons unknown, keeps his hidden from everyone. The only person to actually know his is the author, and she's not telling. | |

The Hunger Games fanfics often name characters from District 1 after precious stones. Examples include Jade, Crystal, Ruby, Citrine and Topaz from The Victors Project, and Emerald, Quartz and Opal from Tales of the Hunger Games. However, the use of the name Facetnote as in the facets on a gemstone for District 1's male tribute in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is as close as canon gets to giving a citizen of 1 a jewel-themed name, though there is a student at the Capitol Academy whose surname is Jasper. | |

According to an interview with Dia, it's a tradition in the Kurosawa family to name their daughters after precious stones, though she mentions that it's unusual to be given English names like hers and Ruby's. The fantasy spin-off Yohane the Parhelion -SUNSHINE in the MIRROR- would introduced Kohaku, a distant relative that works as Dia's assistant. |

Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld: Gemworld royalty are normally referred to by their royal title and house name — i.e., the series lead is properly known as Princess Amethyst, her birth parents were Lord and Lady Amethyst, etc. Becomes a bit confusing when royal houses have several children of the same gender; in the original mini-series alone, there were three princesses of the House of Emerald, all of which were named as "Princess Emerald" by lifelong Gemworlders (Amethyst would later nickname the youngest princess "Emmy" to differentiate her). | |

Magnes is Latin for "lodestone", or magnetic iron. One example of an entity named for such is the Wizard in Mega Man Star Force, the one piloting the rocket that almost blew up at Echo Ridge Elementary and which Mega Man uses to transfer into Meteor G at game's end. | |
