Moving

I am starting up a new name blog, over on Blogspot. This one will still be here, but I won’t be posting here anymore. I’m not sure if I’ll like Blogspot, so I may come back to this one, but for now, if you want to see the new blog, here it is: The Beauty of Names

Thanks!

Grapheme-color synesthesia

I have a mild form of Grapheme-color synesthesia. Sounds weird, but it really isn’t. When I hear a name, I get a color with it, sometimes a sort of fabric as well. Sometimes I have to think harder about it to see which color but for others it is the first picture I have. Anyone else have this? Most of these I had to think more on to see which color but Ursula and Jane are some of the ones I see easily.

Here is a list of some names and the colors I see with them:

Ursula – dark purple
Vincent – gray
Jane – bright yellow, the kind of fabric thing is something like crushed wrapping paper
Blanche – a white irridescent color, sort of like a pearl
Graham – red
Gilda – gold
Fenella – green
Maud – a lavender purple
Pearl – pink
Constantine – gray and green
Sibyl – gray, this one also sort of looks like a pearl or sometimes white
Jack – red or brown
Charlotte – black or gray
George – yellow
Rhonda – dark red

Thanks!

I wanted to give a big thank you to Abby over at Appellation Mountain!

First she mentioned my post on Justinian in one of her Sunday Summaries and now she mentioned me on her newest guest post on Nameberry!

This means so much to me you have no idea. I’ve been a fan of Abby’s for so long this seems unreal. I really don’t know what to say besides thank you!
