Every colour in the rainbow!
The world is bursting with colour so it only makes sense for it to be a source of inspiration when it comes to baby names.
My daughter shares her name with the colour ‘Alice blue’ while my own name, Melissa, is also the name of a shade of yellow.
Children have been named after colours for centuries and with names like Sienna rising in the ranks as one of the most popular names for baby girls in Ireland, it doesn’t look like the trend will be ending any time soon.
