[Facts] Tawny in Greek- κιτρινομαύρος?
I'm marrying my partner who is Greek and learning the language as a surprise. I'm having a tough time translating my name.My name is Irish in origin but is also a color that means golden brown. I am having a hard time figuring out if κιτρινομαύρος (the name that keeps coming up when I do a dictionary search) would make sense as a first name? Does it translate like how "Scarlett" translates to mean both a color and a name? Or would it be like calling me brown? Or would it sound cool and unusual?Thanks in advance! :)

Bing Translator gave me καστανόξανθος , which literally means "brown-yellow."You may want to get a little poetic, like "honey" or "lioness..."
