Georgina is honest, maybe even blunt, sometimes to the point of rudeness. I imagine her as tall — like 5’10”, 5’11 — kind of a “hell in heels” type and very angular. She is patient but shrewd. Something about the name just feels sharp and unfriendly to me. If it were a color (I have mild synesthesia), it would be a burnt shade of orange-red. [ Reply | More

I tend to think of Charles as not boring but extraordinarily reliable and funny without being mean. You can trust a Charles with your money, car, house keys, and so on. You can have a breakdown in front of a Charles, and not only will he help you seamlessly solve the problem, he will have the grace and dignity to never mention it again. I imagine Charles as an amber color, but the name in my mouth tastes like those orange wine coolers we used to drink in college, a little bit sweet and fizzy, a little unexpected. [ Reply | More

Educated, well read parents that wanted a traditional yet quirky name. Every Bea I know has light brown curly hair - so I picture that - with a quite demeanor and warm smile. Beatrice has your back for sure. [ Reply | More

I love Beatrice! It’s so pretty in the way that speaks to finding loveliness in the mundane. Beatrice is dandelions growing, vibrant and yellow, out of a crack in the cobblestone road or a low stone wall along a road somewhere in Connecticut or a bright lemon tree unexpectedly thriving in the backyard of a tract house in California. Before you think I’m implying softness, Beatrice is strength and dignity, though; in a fantasy novel, she would slay her own dragons, would not need to be rescued, would be a commander in the service of the queen.

Sally! Sally is so cute. I imagine Sally as being pleasant-featured and a little soft — a round jawline, giant doll eyes, maybe a pout. If Sally were a fabric, the name would be a blue dress with white Swiss dots, a gathered waist, andantes swingy skirt. It tastes like cherry Icees from the gas station when you’re a kid, the kind that leave your tongue striped blue and red, or the little candies you hid in your coat pockets to eat on the walk home when you were a kid, little stolen bits of sweetness on the days when your breath made crystals in the air.

Elliot [ Reply | More

I automatically imagine all Elliots as little boys with bright eyes and a mop of curly hair, sitting cross-legged with a stack of books... or old men in tweed jackets with leather patches, standing in a classroom where dust swirls in the sunbeams, expounding on how writing isn’t about expressing yourself, it’s about capturing an experience of human emotion (his students don’t get it yet, but they will one day). The only thing separating the two Elliots is time, really. Elliot is a forest-green color and smells like my grandfather’s old car: leather and a little bit of sandalwood with a hint of something clean and sharp. [ Reply | More

As someone with synesthesia, I love the name Serena! It’s a name that is silver and white and midnight-blue to me, like those cloudless spring moments at dusk when the last of the moonlight hits the dewdrops in a way that makes them glisten and shine like pearls. It tastes like honeysuckle, and it smells like sunscreen and chlorine and summer heat. I tend to associate it not with stillness and calm but with friendship and goodness — the drive to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good citizen, a good worker, a good influence (and the flip side of that, which is the anxiety that maybe you’re not).
