Onyx reminds me of the Pokémon 'Onix'. :D; So it's a bit strange to me. I see it more for a boy than a girl.

I really love Onyx for both sexes but for a girl more then a boy. I dont really have any MN for it sorry.

Onyx is horrible name and it has odd sound. By the way Onyx is German music television :))

I don't like it.
I'd go with boy.

I really like Onyx, it's a guilty pleasure of mine. I like it better for a boy, but I could see it on a girl as well, though probably more as a middle name for a girl.

I don't see Onyx has being a human name. I can picture a black cat being called Onyx, a nice change from the overused Midnight, but not a person except in fantasy type fiction. I see Onyx as beinga name the person chooses for herself (I see it as more of something a girl would choose) like an online handle, a stage name or something like that.

Onyx is OK, in an eccentric way. I usually find unusual gemstone names kind of tacky, but there's something charming about Onyx. It has that exotic & mystical feel to it, but it does not sound like it was taken from a trashy fantasy novel.

I generally associate gemstone names with femininity (probably because most gemstone names, like flower names, are feminine), so I think I'd rather see this name on a female. But since it's so rare that it isn't heavily used by either gender, I don't see why it couldn't work on a boy as well.
