So names like Grey, Indigo, Blue, Violet, Silver etc are quite popular.

What about Pink, Yellow, and Green?

Are there any untapped colour names?

Magenta would be a nice girls name I think forgot that DS used to go to a baby group with a Magenta. She must be a adult by now.

My friend has a boy called Oren, which is Welsh for orange. She has no connections to Wales and had no idea that's what it meant and cringed a bit when I told her but by then it had stuck.

I understood Oren / Orin to be Hebrew, meaning pine tree?
