HelpRe: Crimson (m)
in reply to a message by Ismene
Well ... the sound of it reminds me of crimp and cringe. So it gives me a sort of flinching sensation - maybe also because I'm unable to completely dissociate it from embarrassed blushing.
If I think of it as a surname-like name - as if it meant Crim's son - then the S comes out S instead of Z, and it reminds me of Clemson. Like Clemson U. Not appealing to me at all.
I like the way the letters look, but the sound doesn't work for me even if I imagine that I have known someone named Crimson since before I learned the word.
