I honestly think my synesthesia isn't some mystical brain-thing, but the filtering of influences, memories, imagination and associations - like your Sally = yellow example. Sometimes it seems magical and random, but only because I can't trace the pathways of memory backwards. I find most of my colours to be pretty straightforward too - like most r names are red, because red starts with r. Some names I don't get colour-feelings for, because (I assume) there's nothing for my brain to draw on for it.

I don't know if that means I don't have "real" synesthesia or what.
