Names

So why is it that people are commonly called Mr Black, Mr Brown, Mr Grey, Mr White and Mr Green — but nobody is ever called Mr Pink, Mr Red, Mr Blue, Mr Orange, Mr Purple, or Mr Yellow?

    Hello, Margaret — lovely to hear from you — aha, yes — a friend just emailed me to remind me of Lionel Blue!

    If you had to be Penelope _______ and choose one normal color last name, and one unusual color last name, which two would you pick?

    I'd be Julie Green and Julie Periwinkle.

    Penelope Brown and Penelope Indigo, I think.

    Anyone else want to play?

    I could be Grace Garnet and not be much different from my real name!

    What about Rev Lemon's coincidental encounter, Mum?

    Grace Garnet! So pretty! Suits you.

    Yes — I thought of him when I was writing the post. I guess Lemmon does count as a colour!
