✺ names of the rainbow ✺

for me, and i’m sure many, many others on here, words and names have a corresponding colour. pierre for me is rich maroon red, and the name ivy is a dark, golden yellow in my mind.
tell me which names are which colours for you, and if my own list makes sense to you! i am so curious to see what names everyone corresponds with what colour :relaxed:
i’ll put three names for each colour down <3

None!

I have more colour associations with primary colours overall.

Most names on my list are either green or blue for me, probably because I find those colours very calming. However, I find most names also have secondary colours, though those colours are usually lesser associated and only pop up in certain combinations.

Some names from my UC:
Olaia - Olaia is a rare mix of dark green and dark pink to me as I mainly associate it with a specific flower.

[name_f]Ainara[/name_f] - is a light blue

[name_f]Lola[/name_f] - yellow and different shades of pink, definitely a brighter name

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] - definitely green or blue, depending on the combo

[name_u]Arthur[/name_u] - definitely a dark blue

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - a light blue

wow! i loved reading your list! rurik, moses and oscar stood out to me- they very much fit their colours in my mind as well! :))

@OpheliaFlora
lola is definitely a bright name indeed! i would also say it is pink and yellow :)) for some names, i also find they have secondary colours! :relaxed:

@hyacinth.bea
i love your list!! scholastica is such a cool name, and it is quite purple in my mind as well!! margot is perhaps one of the most red names in my opinion as well!! :blush:

@snowmaiden
amy for me is also blue!! i think perhaps it is because amy march from little women wore blue a lot in the most recent film :))

That’s exactly why Amy is blue for me too!!! The director gave each girl a color, and Amy’s was blue!
That and my godmother, who’s named Amy, always wears a pair of blue earrings. :relaxed:
