[Ruprekt]

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

Ruby

Scarlet

And RED!!!!!!

The little boy is called Red!

[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]

I like Redmond though.

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

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

[YellowStripe]

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


True story!

[UniS]

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

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

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

[kiwiscantfly]

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...

[yesnoyesnoyesno]

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.

[telsa]

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