synesthesia and names

I don't have synesthesia but like a pp I have dark haired and light haired children's name associations in my brain:

Light haired

Lewis
Ben
Lucy
Sophie
Emma
Charlotte

Dark haired
Michael
Seth
Gus - although Gus could also have mousy / red hair
David
Molly
Siena
Nicole

strange

My neice is called Isla and has been reading a series of books which mentions this, she's fascinated! No red hair and green eyes for her though, I'm sure she'd love to know her 'colour'.

I've found my ideal thread! I love having synaesthesia - I've got the most common colour-letter/number one and shapes for time. No texture for me though.

Colour definitely affects my name preference - for example I don't like some G names because they're a murky green - Georgia, Greta, Graham (though I like Grace as it's more mint green).

I love yellow names - Evelyn, Edith, Eleanor. Ds is Alistair which is cornflower blue.

For the poster above - Isla is a lovely peachy orange and Adelpha is a rich deep magenta to me.

When I was little I thought everyone in France orange because the word French is!

Wow I think the taste thing is a lot rarer.
bugs Evelyn is a lovely dusky pink. It's textured with little bits in it, hard to describe but looks a bit like rain on a window pane. I like it!

I taste names. Sour names to me are Sidney Arthur Stella. Shirley is acidic. Esme tastes like marzipan... I get a flavour for most names and it's really random. My daughter is Nancy which tastes like boiled sweets and this one will be Fern which unsurprisingly tastes herby. My DH thinks I'm mad. He's probably right.

Both my dds have beautiful green names.

Considering a dark glowy purplish name for dc3

bugs no, I don't taste names. But they all have an associated colour or colours which I "see" in my head when I see or hear the name. And that colour will have a texture too, so it might be smooth, shiny like wet paint, gritty etc etc. The name Peter for example is blue/green and a bit like small potatoes or stones in texture. The name Viola has a sandpapery texture.
I think something is wired a bit funny in my brain. For example when I eat salmon and boiled potatoes, I always think about a particular road junction near my old house. Just weird. I've never eaten salmon at that junction!

Adelpha has long dark straight hair blue eyes
Isla has red curly hair green eyes.

My DD is fascinated by this too.

I have an Adelpha and an Isla and would love to know what colours they are to you.

I tend to associate names with hair colour eg

Sophie
Ellie
Freya
Emily
Daisy
Chloe
Jessica

I know of a red haired Gabriel. It doesn't suit him at all.

Red haired names
Georgia
Olivia
Lucy
Melissa

Boys.

Ben.
Bobby
Elliot

Yes!
I love M names because they are all a lovely gauzy lilac and blue. A names and S names are quite yellow and much less attractive to me. Texture is also important to me. It makes choosing a name even more of a minefield.
