Benedikte2,

"I have synaesthesia and the name is a beautiful shade of blue..."

I'd love to ask you a 101 questions (I won't, don't worry!); I'm fascinated by the whole phenomenon of synaesthesia.

But, sticking to the thread topic, would you mind sharing a few other examples of which names mentioned by PPs you strongly perceive in certain colours? (Not my intention to make you feel like a performing seal, just think it'd be really interesting).

Amerachi is a lovely but my brain wants to scramble it to Mariachi (band) Blush.

I met a Nigerian lady today whose name is Amarachi. Apparently it means 'God's Grace' in the Igbo language ( a Nigerian dialect). Beautiful name

Glad to see my mum's (old-fashioned) name in the list. Smile
Have managed to educate myself about Calypso as a girl's name by googling but had no luck with Mace - is it foreign & how would you pronounce it - presumably not like the spice?

I just like the way all of these sound in my mouth.

FWIW I used to think of Helen as a dull, swotty prefect name, but having met 3 very beautiful Helens, I now think I really like it as it is quite elegant and international

Benedikte2 · 05/10/2017 22:57

Another who loves Helen. Such a soft name with the lovely meaning of "Light'. Never gone out of use yet never overly popular. All the Helens I've known have been strong characters with ethics.
I have synaesthesia and the name is a beautiful shade of blue

Amelie, Rosanna or Maria.

Didn't call my DDs any of these - got talked out of them my DH/family. Always get a tiny bit of rage when I come across any girls with these names #regrets

Alexandra

DeputyBrennan · 05/10/2017 21:43

Serena, Sabrina, Seraphina, Sabine. 'Beautiful' is evidently a fairly specific sound/structure to me.

I also think Astrid is very beautiful.

Flatbum · 05/10/2017 21:34

Delilah (i have so many other faves though, as iv posted on other threads many manyyy times before lol)

JustTheWayYouAre · 05/10/2017 21:31

Juliette, Natasha, Maria, Mary were short listed if we had a girl.

Also love Tabitha and Honey but dh would have vetoed.

There are lots of beautiful names in the world. Not all of them are Eurocentric.

Ellieboolou27 · 05/10/2017 21:05

Ellen
Louisa
Two classics and not very common

whiteroseredrose · 05/10/2017 20:53

Helena or Eleanor

ImissTerry · 05/10/2017 20:50

Vanessa - when I was a little girl there was a teenager who lived across the road from me. She had beautiful long, auburn, wavy hair - can't remember her face though :)

Sgtmajormummy · 05/10/2017 20:19

Condoleezza, with a double Z.
Makes the mistake even more likely!
