|Looks like "anpine" (a shortened form of "antipine", following the logic of the "an-" prefix), but accidentally corrected into "alpine". Somewhat preserves meaning of the anti-/an- prefix.
|Contains the word "pine". A spinel is a type of gemstone, and follows the same pattern as onyx.
|Pun. Too minor of a modification.
|Pun. Spinel doesn't rhyme with pine, ruining the joke.

|A portmanteau of [[Miracle|'''mi'''racle]] and [[Negri|'''ne'''g'''r'''i]] temperaments. Shorter name. This drops the anti- prefix.
|Shorter name. Depending on one's pronunciation, "agate" rhymes with "eight", similarly with "onyx" and "six".

|Shorter name. Named in the same spirit as 1L 6s being named "onyx", depending on one's pronunciation of "olivine".
|References three different temperaments.
|Pun. Olivine is typically pronounced in a way that doesn't rhyme with nine, ruining the joke.

|Too minor of a modification. The use of "bar" as a mosprefix or mosabbreviation may be problematic ("bar" may also mean "measure" in sheet music).
