Colorful Names
We all know people with surnames of colors, such as Green, Brown, Black, White and Gray/Grey. Well, according to Whitepages.com, there are over 300 of the following names: Red, Purple, Blue, Aqua, Pink, Tan, Orange, and Violet. There are 298 Maroons; 272 Yellows; 6 Mauves; 28 Indigos. That's only the beginning! Do you know how many color names fall into just these categories? I think I have a new fascination!

Do you think those are mostly first names?
Queen, I typed in those names as last names on whitepages.com. Odd, huh? Notice I forgot Rose....
Look in your local pages and see. I wonder how colorful your town is.
just wanted to drop by and say hi. Hi.
I once knew an old white haired man who insisted his name was "whitey" It took everything I had to address him by that name. (he's an ex relative)
Interesting...I will have to check our directory too.
Wow. Talk about interesting trivia. But I feel bad for anyone named orange. You can't rhyme anything with their name. Seems...so sad. :0)
