It’s Monday again, which means it’s color time!
I’m starting to run out of colors that I have a lot of names for, so these posts may be seeing smaller lists, just to let you know. Also, a lot of them are unique (like Isaac; silver red), so I can’t do a post on just one name!
Anyway, pink names:
Girls
- Felicity
- Flora
- Florence (nasty pink, though. Orangey and gross)
- Jane
- Petra (partially; green as well)
- Rosalind, Rosemary, Rose, etc.
- Pomeline (purple and pink)
- Corinna (purple pink)
- Cora
Boys
- Leslie (Brown-pink)
Damn social conditioning! I don’t have any pink boys’ names I can think of at the moment. shame, really, because I do like delicate rose pink names.
I’ve also got a question for all you synaesthetes out there. I was doing my German homework, and we were learning colors. We had to write what color I associated with certain nouns/verbs, but I kept having problems. Example: langweilig. Means “boring,” so they were going for beige or something like that. I had so much trouble, since it’s a green word! Anyone else ever have similar problems?
What are your pink names? Do you find that you have many more for girls than boys?

I have a few pink boys names:
Florian, Sylvain, Pascal, Lysander & Jocelin. Florian’s a wild pink, Sylvain’s a baby pink, Pascal’s a bright pastel pink, almost bubblegum Lysander’s a rose pink & Jocelin’s a pretty easter shade of pink.
Funny, Leslie’s simply brown to me. Maybe a pnker, rather than yellower brown, but still very much brown.
Langweiling is a green word for me too! Funny, the only boring colored word I can think of in German is bahnhof, bahnhof is the blandest beige to me, Blah! Stop is a yellow word, in English, which always strikes me as odd, since it’s on a red sign. Yield is orange and it’s on a red & white sign! It’s a good thing those shapes are pretty much universal because if I went by color of the word alone, I’d be scr**ed!

Florian is definitely the same color as Florence to me, so it’s pink, too! Sylvain is green and white-silver, Pascal is blue, Joscelin’s pink-purple.
Stop is red, as one would expect, and yield is yellow, but the signs are yellow instead of red here.
Thanks Lola!
