What is your favorite color? We all have certain colors we like better than others. Today we’ll go though the list of eight beautiful colors, which were so popular that they made it into names, and they are still used around the world.

1. Pink

Name Pink is standing for “a healthy person”, inspired by this enthusiastic, cheerful color. Clearly, the singer Pink had something to do with the trend of this name in 2002. It might have not been that much popular since, but it still remains one of the most beautiful unique names.

2. Gray

Gray is sometimes shot for Graham, but it sound super elegant as a middle or last name. There is something sophisticated in gray colors, simple and decisive. Gray would be the head of the company with that name.

3. Violet

Violet is a very popular name today. It gained it’s popularity from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” book and movies, where we were introduced to Violet Beauregard, who loved to chew gums. Purple color stands for nobility and ambition, yet violet somehow has a touch of innocence and purity in the spectrum.

4. Rose

Rose has been shown to be a timeless name, it is good choice for first and middle name at all eras. When we think of this name, some might think of the “Titanic”, but what the color itself is presenting within this name is someone to be admired and someone who is a happy and honest person.

5. Aurelia

Aurelia and similar versions of this name come from a Latin word actually. The meaning of this word is “golden”. Golden color, being close to yellow and brown, is what we associate with magical, illuminating and wise.

6. Ruby

Ruby is a powerful and hot name. It comes from ruby red color, which is strong, independent, exciting and dangerous. This color is what suits a passionate, motivating leader, a person who is bold and goes for challenges.

7. Melanie

The origin of this name is Greek, and it comes from the color black. A person that this color and name would suit is someone mystical, gentle, authoritative and prestigious. If your parents gave you this name, they must have had high expectations 🙂

8. Green

Not many people have this name as their surname, although it works great for a “Friends” character, Rachel Green. Still, this remains an interesting middle name and it’s very nature friendly, energetic and optimistic. Personally, one of my favorites from this list.
