What's your fav colour name?

drasticgame · December 24, 2018, 8:33pm

Is it [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_f]Jade[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Coral[/name_f], [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], or [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]? Or something else entirely? Would love your thoughts!

(n.b. I’m not talking about names that are derived from a colour word, like how [name_f]Alba[/name_f] and [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] mean “white” or how [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] means “dark.” I mean names that are direct English words for a particular shade)

Probably [name_f]Violet[/name_f] :). But [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] are very close!

I think my favorite is [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]. Also love [name_f]Coral[/name_f] & [name_f]Emerald[/name_f].

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_f]Lilac[/name_f], and [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] are my favourite colour names for girls. They’re all in the top half of my list, and [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] is one of my all time favourites for boys, so I do enjoy a good colour name.

Definitely [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], though I would have thought of it as a plantname rather than a colour. I love [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], too!

namergirl3 · December 25, 2018, 1:31am

I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Lilac[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]. [name_f]Canary[/name_f] (like canary yellow) and [name_f]Plum[/name_f] are total GPs for me.

Greyblue · December 25, 2018, 1:35am

I love [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]! Also [name_f]Mauve[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]

cactusgram · December 25, 2018, 1:48am

[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] are my top faves but I really like [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] too.

renee_seance · December 25, 2018, 3:20am

[name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]

erin_beth · December 25, 2018, 7:12am

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]! It’s a family name and has great nickname potential. But [name_f]Olive[/name_f] is growing on me…

amelia_isabel · December 25, 2018, 10:45am

I really like [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Coral[/name_f] and [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] and especially [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], such a beautiful name! I didn’t see it listed but I also really like [name_f]Azure[/name_f], especially as a middle name.

EloiseT · December 25, 2018, 11:19am

[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], [name_f]Plum[/name_f] and [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] (and [name_u]Grey[/name_u] / [name_u]Gray[/name_u] for a boy).
