These Unique & Vibrant Baby Names Mean 'Orange' or 'Yellow'
If you’re shopping around for a baby name, maybe you want one that’s tied to your family’s heritage or a special place you hold near and dear. But why not name your kid after your favorite color?
And no, it doesn’t have to be that straightforward (although names like Rose, Mauve, and Chartreuse are pretty cool — and Blue has been picked by celebrities like Beyonce and Alicia Silverstone for their children). You can simply choose a name that sports a meaning that’s associated with your favorite color.
