[name]Indigo[/name] - Phonetic [name]Alpha[/name] [name]Bet[/name]
[name]Ottilie[/name] - A child being made fun of. An Otter. and Utterly.
[name]Marian[/name] - I went to school with a girl with this name, so I that comes to mind.
[name]Magdelene[/name] - [name]Little[/name] french girl.

[name]Aurelia[/name] - [name]Gold[/name], beauty, kindness. [name]Aurelia[/name] in [name]Love[/name] Actually.
[name]Emilie[/name] - Blonde slender little girl who loves ballet and drawing.
[name]Evelyn[/name] - Cool girl with tons of spunk. I see trampolines and balloons and sneakers and horses.
[name]Indigo[/name] - Serious, smart and ironic.
[name]Ottilie[/name] - Not doing this oneā€¦
[name]Marian[/name] - Maid [name]Marian[/name]. I love [name]Robin[/name] Hood, so thatā€™s a really really good association for me. Beauty, bravery, love, smarts and sass.
[name]Magdalene[/name] - Heavy, serious, dark dark blue. Oceans and the intense calm before the storm.

[name]Aurelia[/name] - I can only picture the character from Starzā€™ [name]Spartacus[/name].
[name]Emilie[/name] - Smiley child with wispy blond hair
[name]Evelyn[/name] - Tough and bossy but talented
[name]Indigo[/name] - The protagonist of a chapter book for elementary schoolers
[name]Ottilie[/name] - Someone with paint on her hands
[name]Marian[/name] - A shy middle-aged woman
[name]Magdalene[/name] - A girl with terrible manners and a magnetic personality

[name]Aurelia[/name] - Sort of a pinkish-orangeish-peachish color? Yeah?
[name]Emilie[/name] - First thing that comes to mind is [name]Emilio[/name] Estevezā€¦
[name]Evelyn[/name] - A Russian girl I know that once smashed my Halloween decorations with a hammer.
[name]Indigo[/name] - The color indigo.
[name]Ottilie[/name] - Umm? I think of [name]Otto[/name].
[name]Marian[/name] - [name]Marian[/name] Moseby! Hahah. :slight_smile:
[name]Magdalene[/name] - A book I read with a character named [name]Magdalena[/name], went by [name]Lena[/name]. Not a very likable character, in all honesty.

[name]Aurelia[/name]- ā€œ[name]Just[/name] in casesā€ [name]Love[/name] Actually for sure
[name]Emilie[/name]- makes me think of my little sister, empathetic, kind, warm, beautiful wavy hair
[name]Evelyn[/name]- quiet, earnest girl
[name]Indigo[/name]- a fierce, cool girl in a rock band
[name]Ottilie[/name]- before I came to the boards, I only knew the name from [name]Ottilie[/name] Assing, the little poem by [name]Robert[/name] [name]Louis[/name] [name]Stevenson[/name], and as one of the cute elephants in a Babar book I have, but now, the poster with the same name springs to mind and with her, the association of someone who is intelligent and poetic
[name]Marian[/name]- my friendā€™s cool aunt, she lives by the beach and paints the most beautiful landscapes and is a great chef
[name]Magdalene[/name]- romantic, moody, artistic, gorgeous

[name]Aurelia[/name] - The foreign female character from ā€œ[name]Love[/name] Actuallyā€. So I picture a pretty, brown-haired meek girl with a bit of mystery.
[name]Emilie[/name] - [name]Emily[/name]. A nice, solid name but I think of someone very plain and perhaps a little boring and frumpy.
[name]Evelyn[/name] - Harsh, snooty. Iā€™ve known a lot of bratty Evelyns! I think of either a rotten, fair haired little girl or an older, stern woman.
[name]Indigo[/name] - I love this name in theory, but in reality, all I think of are te [name]Indigo[/name] Girls and therefore sort of a [name]Lilith[/name] Fair, hippie vibe. I adore it in the MN spot and I absolutely [name]LOvE[/name] [name]India[/name].
[name]Ottilie[/name] - Honolee, from Puff the [name]Magic[/name] Dragon. Thatā€™s always my first thought. But it does sound quite lovely.
[name]Marian[/name] - I picture a beautiful, strong raven-haired woman. Isnā€™t there a biblical [name]Marian[/name]? Sort of get that vibe.
[name]Magdalene[/name]- [name]Mary[/name] [name]Magdelene[/name].
