Paris
What color is Paris? What does it remind you of?Boy, or girl?Do you like it at all, or is it tainted by Paris Hilton? Do people still talk about Paris Hilton? **Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam/Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine, and a side order of ham**

Grey...or purply-blue grey...dusky.
It reminds me of the Industrial Revolution, glamorization of urban life, people who'd say grey is sophisticated and like it because of that, golden apples.
Pears, cobblestone, and French blue, if I reach.I do think of Paris Hilton (and that'd add some pink) and also Paris of Troy (that'd add some gold and yellowy earth tones), though less than I used to.I do like it a little bit - at least, I think it's usable for either gender and that the sound is nice.
I'd prefer Parisa for a girl, partly because the Paris associations are more distant with that.

Grey-ish blue. It reminds me of Paris Hilton, Paris Jackson, the city, Greek mythology - in that order. It doesn't really have a pleasant sound. Even though it has some mythology and is unisex it seems like one of those trendy slightly tacky names that were common in the 90s or early 00s and reminds me of Juicy Couture - Paris, Tiffany, Brittany, Kayla. It seems dated already even though it was never common. Weirdly enough the city is never my first association, maybe because in French and German it sounds different.

I've always found it borderline cheesy. And equally so for both genders. I'm not sure why. Paris Hilton probably didn't help with that. These days, I think Paris Jackson could be the better known Paris. I see a sky blue shade in my mind's eye.

I see it as like sunset colors, orange and pinky-purple. I don’t like it that much and the gender doesn’t change that. It’s a very unisex name to me and I could never choose just one for it. It reminds me of the character in Gilmore Girls more than anything.

Depends on gender. Paris on a girl is pink. Paris on a boy is brown. I like it on both genders. I love the history behind masculine Paris, but Paris for a girl’s been on my mind lately.I do think of Paris Hilton, but no she’s not really in the limelight anymore.
