Thinking about adding a bit of color to your baby's name?
I've picked out the most usable baby name meanings for girls from a range of colors.
Gold, white, reds, greens, browns - they're all here!
Color names for girls are stylish - some are dreamy, others more practical, and one or two are quite striking - Scarlett or Pink, for example.
Some color themed names are not always obvious - not everyone knows that Fiona means "white" - but there is a choice of more literal names, such as Olive or Grey.
Take a look at the choices below and see what you think!
Just... Pink!
Color first names: Ariane Aurelia Bianca Ciara Fiona Guinevere Jade Leila Ruby Sable Tatiana Brownie Grey Ivory Olive Lilac Violet Orange Red Scarlett... or, yes - Pink!
Ariane A Welsh name meaning "silver." Ariane appeared only once in the US rankings, in 1978. She's a high flyer - Ariane is also the name of a family of rockets used by the European Space Agency.
Aurelia Of Latin origin meaning "golden."
Bianca Meaning "white," this Italian name stands in 236th place in the US baby name rankings.
Ciara Ranked 365, Ciara is an Irish name meaning "black."
Fiona From Ireland, a Gaelic name that means "white." Fiona entered the baby name charts in 1990 and has already made it to the top four hundred.
Guinevere From a Welsh origin meaning "white" Guinevere has herself produced one of the most popular baby names in the form of Jennifer.
Jade Hovering around 100th place in the US rankings over the last few years, and in 2008 falling to 129th place, where she remains for 2009, Jade is primarily associated with the color green, although other colors of jade also exist.
Leila Of Arabic origin, this lovely name means "as dark as night" - and has featured in the top 1000 US baby names, with only a few exceptions, for the last one hundred years.
Ruby Ruby comes from the Latin word for "red." Very popular at the beginning of the last century, Ruby is working her way back up the baby name charts again.
Sable A traditional English name meaning "black." The sable is the name of a small animal from Siberia which was hunted for fur - and so the name became associated with the color. Sable cats, however, tend to be a shade of dark brown.
Tatiana Of Latin origin, but very popular in the Slavic world, this name is believed to mean "silver haired."
