So, the law changed, you have to name your child

[00100001]

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.

I quite like Saffron or Sapphire for a girl.

Boy is a bit more difficult, maybe Cyan (pronounced ki-yan) or perhaps Charcoal - nn: Charlie or Cole

Purple for a boy and vermilion for a girl.

DS would be Red, DD would be Indigo.
Those are the colours I see their personalities.

Blue for a boy Violet for a girl.

Spud is cheating. No fair!!

i'm going to be very pretentious and go for Giallo-Blu for a boy (it's the nickname for an Italian football club) as it sounds better than Yellow-Blue. You said hyphenation was allowed, right?

Blue for a girl. My dad called me Blue when I was little for some unfathamable reason.

Red for a boy. Like in The Black List. Or That 70's Show.

Whoops, I was half asleep last night and I didn't realise the op said colour of the rainbow, not colours in general.

Blue-Violet for a girl.
Red for a boy!

My brothers called Red

Errr, the law clearly states this:

^"It has been decreed that from the time that Binary posts on MN, that the only allowable names for children will be Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Infidgo or Violet. No exceptions, no other spellings, no taking into account languages, no shades. Hyphenation is allowable.

Law breakers will be issued with the MN Sanction of:

Signed: The Law Maker"^

So away with your Giallo-Blues and Vermilions!

Pick an allowed name :p

Let's all pretend that Indigo is typed correctly in that last post.

and that my italics worked

Thanks, OP, for clarifying those rules. There are some posters here who appear to think they can circumnavigate the decree.

Red for a boy (after shawshank redemption)
And Indigo for a girl.

Indigo for a boy and Violet for a girl.

But I have 2 boys, so that would be a problem. Would it be terribly unimaginative to call them Indigo-1 and Indigo-2?

No numbers can be involved so you would have to give them different names

I already have a DS who is a Red! Don't know what I'd call the other 3 DC though

No numbers?

Hmmm. Maybe I'll call DS1 Indigo, nn Indy, and DS2 Indigo, nn Go. That way we'll avoid any confusion.

that's why hyphenation was allowed, in case for some reason you used all seven names in your family. .... obvs

what about when they get a letter sent to "Indigo Stitches"? hmm?

Honestly this is a serious business!

Red - boy
indigo - girl.

Although we would have to chose outlandish middle names the dc could be known as, with every other child having your name, both boys and girls.

if you;re prepared to take that chance and risk a bar.... !

what about when they get a letter sent to "Indigo Stitches"? hmm?

Middle names with different initials?

Red for a boy (thinking Shawshank Redemption here).

Indigo for a girl (I used to know one).

It's obviously going to be Violet for a girl, Red for a boy and Indigo for the spirited child of over-indulgent Hippy parents.
