[Opinions] Beige
There are lots of colours used as names, Blue, Lilac, Indigo etc. Do you think Beige could work? At first I was thinking no but the more I say it the more I like it.

No. It literally describes boring and bland. If it had to be used, it should be in the middle name spot only.

I mean, it certainly is unique. I'm not a fan of the color, however. Also, what if they don't like the color Beige?

It’s a synonym for “boring”. No.

It’s the most boring color ever, though.

Not only does it have a bad sound, it's a bad color to have as a name. It conjurers up the blandest possible feelings. To give this name to a child would be an act of malice.

No. Color names seem cheesy.

Well, it sounds like Paige / Gage / Sage / Bay, and I have met a Khaki, so it's not impossible, but as other people have said, it comes across like Bland would.Also, it's not botanical like Lilac, Lavender, Cerise, Sage, Indigo, Saffron; it'd seem more like Roan, Merle, Sable, Gray, Tawny, Cashmere because ultimately it's a color derived from animal hair/fiber. That's not bad necessarily, but they do have different vibes imv.

Beige isn't exactly a pretty color, nor does it have a pretty sound, so I wouldn't recommend it.

No. It does have a somewhat attractive sound, but it's not just a color; beige has kind of become a synonym for bland, boring, personality-free.

No, not at all

With its connotations of 'dull', 'bland', 'boring', 'lacking in style' I think it would be unfortunate to say the least.
