After a colour in the rainbow. What do you choose for boy and a girl?

I would choose Red for a boy and Violet for a girl.

Ooh... Good game!

Teal for a boy. Indigo for a girl

InkleWinkle · 19/03/2016 23:11

Indigo. For either.

Creatureofthenight · 19/03/2016 23:12

Teal is not a colour of the rainbow.

YakTriangle · 19/03/2016 23:12

None of them sound like names except Violet. Green or Blue for a boy I guess, but I'd feel pretty daft calling them either.

NewYearSameMe · 19/03/2016 23:13

Sky (blue) for a girl. Forest (green) for a boy.

Patterkiller · 19/03/2016 23:14

Violet for a girl. And I'm going to say blue for a boy. Not because it's a boys colour just like the sound.

NewYearSameMe · 19/03/2016 23:14

Missed the rainbow bit, sorry. In that case I'd choose the same as the OP.

Diggum · 19/03/2016 23:14

Are we stuck to just 7 colours or is anything on the spectrum allowed?

If the former, Green for a girl (because of the Joni Mitchell song) and Red for a boy for me too.

NoTractorsAtTheTable · 19/03/2016 23:16

It's obnovious, surely - Pink for a girl, and Blue for a boy Wink

tabulahrasa · 19/03/2016 23:16

Indigo for a boy and yellow for a girl.

Blue for a boy and indigo for a girl.

2Offwhitecurtains · 19/03/2016 23:33

Blue for a girl and Orange for a boy.

ValiaH · 19/03/2016 23:35

Indigo- nn Indi for a boy, Violet or Blue for a girl. Couldn't name any of them Red as there was a villain in the Famous Five who was called Red, and so that's been forever associated with negativity for me!

MoonlightandMusic · 19/03/2016 23:35

Red or Indigo for a boy and Violet or Blue for a girl.

SanityClause · 19/03/2016 23:36

Red for a boy, Indigo for a girl.

Lightbulbon · 19/03/2016 23:37

Indigo boy

Violet girl

SpecialSnowflake · 19/03/2016 23:38

Indigo for a boy (NN Indy), Blue for a girl (NN Lulu)
Grin

DropYourSword · 19/03/2016 23:40

Indigo for a boy, because it's close to Inigo (Montoya!)

Red for a girl, because I like the names Ruby and Scarlett

5BlueHydrangea · 19/03/2016 23:40

Indigo and Violet
Was tempted to use one or other of those names with dd but didn't in the end. But part of me wishes I had!

FurryDogMother · 20/03/2016 00:00

Green for a boy and Blue for a girl :)

AnotherStitchInTime · 20/03/2016 00:02

Indigo - boy
Violet and blue for the girls.

Mag314s · 20/03/2016 00:03
