German colours... yes or no...

[IReallyWantKids]

Hi I'm thinking about German colours as names... It sounds stupid but I luv Lila and Rosa 4 girls and blau (blau as in OW when u hurt yrself)for a boy. Wot do u guys think and do u know any other names I mite like?

Midori- green in Japanese, and genuinely a name.

I hope you are not considering Eva as first name and Braun as middle name.

Er ist ein troll, naturlich.

ah, Wunderbar

Anyway how is Rose a German colour?

Rosa und Lila ist gut aber Blau ist nicht gut.

Midori is also an alcoholic drink isn't it? Melon flavoured possibly?

I hope it's a wind up as (I'm sure it's already been mentioned) "er ist blau" means "he's drunk"! Not a good way for a little baby to enter the world. Rosa and Lila are fine though - stick to those!

Rose (pronounced rosa) is German for light pink. Pink is German for pink.

How about Grau? That's better than Blau. Both would get you laughed out of Berlin, mind...

Dunkelrot for a boy. Dunk for short.

Psammy

oh, I know that, but Rosa/Rose means pink in many languages, not just German.
same with Lila/Lilac so they can't be really called "German colours".

it ain't right.just ain't

This could lead into a good old Steiner debate..Goethe colour theory etc... Rosa and Lila are carving wood this morning, and modelling wax later if they want too

Actually, glucose, I know a good few people who went to Waldorf/Steiner type schools in German speaking countries (it's a work thing).

For some odd reason, all of them are called either Julian or Raphael.

Steiner more mainstream in Germany....with mainstream named children...but cause of heated mn deb
ate in past when parents have sought opinions on UK Steiner Schools...I am just bored...cos I ain't cleva enuff to start amusing type thread independently....

Oh sorry Zing, I thought it was a more basic question than it was!

Maybe it's the charming pronounciation the op is after?

In which case, I might direct you, OP, to this little video by way of inspiration.

no worries Psammy I know how you meant it.

I'm just grumpy.

My goodness... Are we out of HUMAN names?

yep.

and apparently animal, weather, spice and town names too!
