HelpPurple Sibling Set
I met a young woman named Amethyst today. She told me her mom 'really loves purple' and named all her siblings after the colour. I had to ask what everyone's names were. I thought this crowd would appreciate.
Violet
Amethyst
Aubergine
Phoenix & Gemini (twins)
Apparently Phoenix is associated with purple-red colours and may have come from the Phoenicians, who made a type of purple dye. Or at least, that's what she said!
For fun, what would you re-name this sibset if you had to use a colour theme?

I definitely don't think purple with Phoenix and how is Gemini related to purple? It's also crazy to me to name a twin Gemini. Obviously, as everyone has commented Aubergine is awful. It wouldn't be if it was on sound alone and wasn't already a thing. I'm guessing Aubergine is a girl and Phoenix and Gemini are boys, but I am unsure. Purple is my favorite color, but I would definitely do it differently.

oh man ...
This sibset sounds like it was named by a twelve-year-old.
Aubergine is the worst one. It's a fricking eggplant.

Hey, go for broke, suggest to name the next one Plum!
If we're talking directly the color purple, there's always the varying shades: Fuschia, Magenta, Mauve.
Or there's items colored purple, such as flowers: Lilac, Lavender, Iris, Orchid, Wisteria, Pansy, Hyacinth, Heliotrope, etc.
My favorite color is actually blue, yet I think I would go for a yellow pattern if I was to do a color theme.
Marigold
Daisy
Vanilla (hey, if Aubergine gets a pass, so does this)
Amber and Saffron
Wish I could do Sunflower, its my second favorite flower, but I'd hate the nickname Sunny. And I could never do Citrine, because it sounds way too close to latrine for my liking.

Well... I love Violet and Amethyst, Gemini is surprisingly charming, and Phoenix is sparky. But I was not expecting Aubergine! I guess I shouldn't be surprised about it, we have names like Cerise and Apple out there.
Some other purple-y names I like: Lavender, Violeta, Viola. Maybe Heather and Heath count too.

Violet & Amethyst I love! Phoenix, Gemini, & Aubergine aren't my style.
If I had to use a color theme, I think I'd use red. I don't like red very much, but the names associated with red are beautiful: Cerise, Rory, Roselle, Ruby, & Scarlet.
I also think the purple set could perhaps be improved by using Ianthe, Iris, & Jacinda instead of Aubergine, Phoenix, & Gemini. Purple's my favorite color, and I too am quite obsessed with it!

Violet and Pheonix I understand.
Amethyst is okay.
Gemini and Aubergine I feel sorry for.

I like Violet and Amethyst.
Aubergine?????
Oh, if they go to any other English speaking country. Aubergine is what everyone else calls eggplants.

I live in a French-English area. They're called aubergines in French. So, her mom was fully aware of that association, haha. But I have to admit, there are other purple names I would have chosen before Aubergine.
Do you know if she had a nickname? I'm think Aubrey could work as a nickname for Aubergine.
That is... interesting.
She was aware of the association and still named her kid eggplant???
Hahaha
Hahaha
I would say 70% of what makes Eggplant a goofy name choice is the fact that it's called Egg-Plant.
So a lot of the goofiness fades in another language.
IMO.

True.
Although would you really want to be called Carrot?
