After a colour in the rainbow. What do you choose for boy and a girl?

I would choose Red for a boy and Violet for a girl.

Whoops, I was half asleep last night and I didn't realise the op said colour of the rainbow, not colours in general.Blush

Blue for a girl. My dad called me Blue when I was little for some unfathamable reason.

Red for a boy. Like in The Black List. Or That 70's Show.

i'm going to be very pretentious and go for Giallo-Blu for a boy (it's the nickname for an Italian football club) as it sounds better than Yellow-Blue. You said hyphenation was allowed, right?

Blue for a boy Violet for a girl.

DS would be Red, DD would be Indigo.
Those are the colours I see their personalities.

AdoraBell · 20/03/2016 00:16

Purple for a boy and vermilion for a girl.

imwithspud · 20/03/2016 00:13

I quite like Saffron or Sapphire for a girl.

Boy is a bit more difficult, maybe Cyan (pronounced ki-yan) or perhaps Charcoal - nn: Charlie or ColeGrin

Indigo and Violet
Was tempted to use one or other of those names with dd but didn't in the end. But part of me wishes I had!

DropYourSword · 19/03/2016 23:40

Indigo for a boy, because it's close to Inigo (Montoya!)

Red for a girl, because I like the names Ruby and Scarlett

SpecialSnowflake · 19/03/2016 23:38

Red or Indigo for a boy and Violet or Blue for a girl.

ValiaH · 19/03/2016 23:35

Indigo- nn Indi for a boy, Violet or Blue for a girl. Couldn't name any of them Red as there was a villain in the Famous Five who was called Red, and so that's been forever associated with negativity for me!

2Offwhitecurtains · 19/03/2016 23:33

Blue for a girl and Orange for a boy.
