Help[Opinions] Re: Azul?
in reply to a message by Leah
I prefer Azure or Azura. I'd consider, though, whether you'd name your daughter Blue and then go back to Azul. If she ever goes to a Spanish-speaking country, her name is just a color. Consider this also: if someone from a Spanish-speaking country came to you and said, "Hi, my name is Green," would you think that was weird?

Juan Soler does live in a Spanish-speaking country, and he still named his daughter Azul. And Blue, Red, Violet, Ruby, Scarlet, etc. all started out just as colors. In fact, most names come from actual words in different languages.

Azul is Portuguese as well, I like it a lot it's nice but I find it more masculine, and Azure for either.

People name their kids Blue and Bleu (the French word for blue) often enough. I'm not sure if it would seem any weirder to a Spanish person meeting someone named Azul, than it would to a French person meeting someone named Bleu, or an English person meeting someone named Blue. Though I guess it might be, I'm sure in some languages it would just be too strange.

I know that some people name their children after colors; personally, I'd be inclined to use the combo Bonnie Blue. However, a lot of people still think it's laughable to use colors as names. That's the point I was trying to make.

Yeah, that is true.
