Beyonce and JayZ are not the first parents to choose a baby name that is a color, but baby Blue Ivy might be one of the most recent ones to be well known. Using names that have to do with colors is a fairly old practice. In fact, some of the "oldest" names I can think of are colors, like Rose. I also think of names that have to do with coloring, like names that mean things like fair haired (Xanthe).
I started thinking of this when someone shared that she named her kids after shades of her favorite color. So it wouldn't be obvious to the average person that her kids' names all had something in common, but it made her happy. Would you name your child a color name? What color and why?
