Inspired by the Scarlett question and by Beyonce naming her child Blue, I was trying to think of more colors that have become names for humans.
I’ve met a few girls named Cerise, one named Fuscia and one Saffron.
What other colorful names are out there?

Violet.
Indigo.
Amber
Coral
Ohhh Hazel… and Greye (different spelling of course).
What about Jade? It denotes a colour as well as the stone.
Olive
Pearl (and that’s me out)
Can we use foreign names? Bianca means white.
Does saffron count? It is a color, but not really. Really it is a flower.
I guess rose could be one also?
Placenta. No, really, and it was for a boy no less! Stupid mother!
No? Really @Snowberry…? That’s just cruel.
@Bellatrix Yes, it really happened. If the poor kid managed to live long enough to grow up, he must have been one mean dude.
Iris- It’s a Greek word, and its English meaning is Rainbow. I think it would be of seven colors.
Nice name though!
I know a guy called Grey. I can’t think of any other male names that are colours.
Ashly? Ginger? Hazel? Puce?
I have never met a person called Puce… I would not like that name.
Puce is icky.
I think of the book “Summer of the Swans” where the girl tries to dye her orange sneakers to “baby blue” and they come out puce.
@Blueroses So is pleurisy. Still. I’m sure I could like someone with that name, maybe even learn to like the name.
I named my kid Melody Sunshine, I was born 25 years to late to be a “real hippie ” though.
