Why though?

As I see it a lot of names must have been weird when first used. Why don't people think its weird to name your kid after a plant?

Why is Ginger okay but Apple is weird?

I don't get why Cerulean is any worse than "Ruby", "Lavender" "Emerald","Hazel" ,"Jade", "Violet", "Rose" or "Scarlet"?

I agree, tbh.

I agree. A lot of girls' names are colours or flowers.

Cerulean is quite pretty. Who doesn't like blue?

Far worse are those names which are deliberately misspelled in an attempt to be different. Ugh.

Or Jade or Pearl ... I also knew a Sapphire in college. And there's Azura Skye.

(And let's face it, nne of those are as odd as Moon Unit. Or Dweezil.)

It is a lovely word. Perhaps as a middle name?

with the exception of Scarlet, none of those names are color names. They're all plant/mineral names.

However, some people name their kid Blue. So. Color names aren't unheard of.

They're colors too.

Those...are all actually also color names. Holy shit you're dumb.

There are a lot of colours that are named after things that codify the exact shade/tone of the colour they refer to. Ever heard of colours like chartruse? Burgundy? Ultramarine? The first two are both alcoholic drinks of notable colourings while the latter is a type of gemstone used as a pigment.

All the colours mentioned (sans scarlet) are the same - colours named after a notable natural occurrence.

Remember, English is a language that can give multiple definitions to words, that includes colours named after flowers and gemstones.

To be fair, I wouldn't name a kid "Ginger", either.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-06 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Then Fred will have no one to be paired with.

Ginger is usually a nickname for Virginia, so...
