A Rainbow of Names

General Name Discussion
1

I was wondering if people could write their rainbows of names.
[name]How[/name] to do it:

  1. Name the colours of the rainbow
  2. By each one, write a boys and a girls name that matches that colour
  3. Compare other people’s lists with your own and say what colour names you like/use most

Here is my list:
[name]Red[/name]- [name]Emmy[/name]/[name]Richard[/name]
[name]Orange[/name]- [name]Martha[/name]/[name]Jake[/name]
Yellow- [name]Lauren[/name]/[name]Carl[/name]
[name]Green[/name]- Shreenidhi/[name]James[/name]
[name]Blue[/name]- [name]Inka[/name]/[name]Louis[/name]
Purple- [name]Natasha[/name]/ ???

P.S Sorry all those who aren’t synesthetes

[name]Red[/name]:[name]Zelina[/name]/[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Orange[/name]:Gorgia/[name]Leo[/name]
Yellow:[name]Pheobe[/name]/[name]Hyatt[/name]
[name]Green[/name]: [name]Jacqueline[/name]/[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Blue[/name]:[name]Stella[/name]/[name]Quint[/name]
Purple:[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Isaac[/name]

Thanks I agree with [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Pheobe[/name] to a point but [name]Pheobe[/name] is kinda greeny yellow and a bit like a sponge.

[name]Red[/name] - [name]Isabel[/name]/[name]Nathanial[/name]
[name]Orange[/name] - [name]Madeline[/name]/[name]Ezra[/name]
Yellow - [name]Flora[/name]/[name]Bryce[/name]
[name]Green[/name] - [name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Blue[/name] - [name]Amy[/name]/[name]Brendan[/name]
[name]Indigo[/name] - [name]Luna[/name]/[name]Frederic[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] - [name]Diana[/name]/[name]Miles[/name]

Red- Emmy/Richard
Orange- Martha/Jake
Yellow- Lauren/Carl
Green- Shreenidhi/James
Blue- Inka/Louis
Purple- Natasha/ ???

To me [name]Louis[/name] would fit the color green better, but I agree with the others. I defiantly see [name]Lauren[/name] as yellow and [name]Natasha[/name] as purple.

Red:Zelina/Griffin
Orange:Gorgia/Leo
Yellow:Pheobe/Hyatt
Green: Jacqueline/Oliver
Blue:Stella/Quint
Purple:Juliet/Isaac

[name]Juliet[/name] fits yellow in my opinion, it’s a brighter sounding name. [name]Pheobe[/name] fits yellow too though. [name]Stella[/name] would be purple imo, [name]Jacqueline[/name] would be blue, [name]Isaac[/name] would be red, and the rest I think fit.

[name]Red[/name]: [name]Ruby[/name] (obviously)/[name]Bryan[/name]
[name]Orange[/name]: [name]Clara[/name]/[name]Everly[/name]
Yellow: [name]Matilda[/name]/[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Green[/name]: [name]Hazel[/name]/[name]Luke[/name]
[name]Blue[/name]: [name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Avery[/name]
Purple: [name]Sophia[/name]/[name]Silas[/name]

This is interesting. Some names I strongly associate with colours, and some, not so much. I looked at my list, and thought about people I know in real life, and here is what associations I formed.

[name]Red[/name] - [name]Jane[/name], [name]Victoria[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Michael[/name], [name]Adrian[/name]
[name]Orange[/name] - [name]Emily[/name]
Yellow - [name]Maisie[/name], [name]Leona[/name], [name]Cecelia[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Edwin[/name]
[name]Green[/name] - [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Juniper[/name], [name]Keith[/name], [name]Glen[/name], [name]Arthur[/name]
Greenish-[name]Blue[/name] - [name]Vera[/name]
[name]Blue[/name] - [name]Norah[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Callum[/name],
Purple - [name]Matilda[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Pink[/name] - [name]Millicent[/name]
White - [name]Calla[/name], [name]June[/name], [name]Nola[/name]

[name]Red[/name] - [name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Orange[/name] - [name]Seraphina[/name]
Yellow - [name]Elaine[/name]
[name]Green[/name] - [name]Elena[/name] but more of a olivey green
[name]Blue[/name] - [name]Averie[/name]
Purple - [name]Monica[/name]

9

[name]Red[/name] - [name]Raina[/name], [name]Robert[/name]
[name]Orange[/name] - [name]Erica[/name], [name]Earl[/name]
Yellow - [name]Alice[/name], [name]Aaron[/name]
[name]Green[/name] - [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Blue[/name] - [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Louis[/name]

10

[name]Red[/name] – [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Colin[/name] (a lighter red than [name]Catherine[/name])
[name]Orange[/name] – I don’t see many letters in orange. Perhaps [name]Marigold[/name] and [name]Ash[/name]. More plant-y names.
Yellow – [name]Emily[/name], [name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Green[/name] – [name]Leah[/name], [name]Louis[/name]
[name]Blue[/name] – [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Joel[/name]
Purple – [name]Naomi[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name]

I also hear notes, keys, and chords in different colours, and often “hear” musical words and letters.

This is a great idea. I often think about a name’s color when thinking about nursery colors. I don’t actually agree with most of the name and color combos above, as I don’t “see” them, I just get a feeling, and most are a mixture of colors, but I think some of mine are heavily influced by previous acquaintances. For example, [name]Lauren[/name] is purple for me.
