Debate of colour names?

[Libby456]

Personally i love them. Some- yes are a little outrageous but my next baba is going to be called Saffron and i couldn't think of a more beautiful name!
I also like, Scarlett, Rose, Indigo, Amber, Violet.

Love the name Bruno! Is that Spanish for brown?

Bruno for brown
Rufus for red
Verdi for green
Blanche for white
Grey

Fuchsia too easy to make a rude nickname from.

Lila german for purple.
Rosa german for pink.

Hellrosa is light pink, if you think she'll grow up naughty.

I like colour names, but as DH's last name (and therefore DC's) is also a colour, they just don't work.

Once I actually suggested Olive, still love it too...

I've always liked Amber. I think because it has a strong consonant ending.

[UniS]

I have met
Blue
Topaz
Indigo

Scarlet
Amber
Ruby
Tawnie
Saffron
Jade
Olive
Sienna

Don't think I know anyone with a green name.

I rather like colour names but gave DS a very traditional English name.

[MinimMum]

I had a 2x grandma called Fuschia.
I've not heard of it since.

[YellowStripe]

I knew a family - surname of Brown - who called their son Red .....


True story!

[HolidayCriminal]

I know Blue as a boy's name.
Rufus is a boy name & a colour.
My black boy cat is called Nero.

[Ruprekt]

I like Redmond though.

I even like Red tbh.....but with Ruby and Scarlet? Pmsl!

[stonygreysoil]

thats going beyond a joke ruprekt.

having said that, debating using redmond for a boy, which would probably have Red as a nickname... however that wil conclude the colour scheme in the family.

[Ruprekt]

Family I know have 3 children called......

Ruby

Scarlet

And RED!!!!!!

The little boy is called Red!

[Leeds2]

Sienna?

[bouquetofpencils]

Carmine is a boys colour name which I would use but DH would veto.

[Browne]

Saffron is pretty, I've never came across a Saffron either. I adore the name Amber but my last name's a colour so it would just sound daft!

I like most colour and gem names. What I don't like are themes. So no more than one jem, colour or flower per family!
