[Opinions] Re: Orange?
in reply to a message by Cassandra113
First, the obvious ones: Clementine / Clementina, Golda, Gilda, Coral, Ginger, Sienna, Orangetta. That last name is in a baby name book I have. I've never heard it really used on anyone. I did, however, meet a young woman once named "Shasta Orange." Her surname was Orange. So perhaps Shasta could fit into this category too.
Now, for the more obscure references. Anything with a soft "j" sound in it makes me think of things warm. The color orange certainly is warm. Examples:
Georgia (it even kind of sounds like orange)
Julia
Gigi
Jamila
Jemima (also has syrup connotations which might help)
Gemma
Names with gold in the meaning could work too: Orla (sounds like orange), Aurelia, Oriana.
And finally, from the recesses of my twisted mind: Mairead. It makes me think of orange marmalade. :-)
