HelpRe: Crimson (m)
in reply to a message by Ismene
All I can think of is a very earwormy, repetitive but pleasantish 60s song with the refrain "Crimson and clover, over and over", and over and over it went until you wanted to ... go and write some more varied lyrics. And so, I suppose it's cause and effect, I think of it as a girl name just because they are so much more frequent in pop songs, give or take a bit of Elton John and and Billy Joe McAllister!
And Scarlett is female. So I feel tension between two shades of red with different genders. The sound isn't madly appealing, certainly not appealing enough. And the fact that Crimson ends in -son would never have crossed my mind and doesn't seem relevant anyway, what with Alison, Madyson etc.
As mns, anything goes but it can still be embarrassing. I had a friend at school with, as it turned out, three mns. We only knew about two of them, and they were production-line stuff. But when we were about 11-12 we somehow discovered her third mn, which is Honeybun. With explosive effect. Luckily she was ... not exactly popular, but well liked, so we enjoyed it more than she didn't. But still, it seemed and seems harsh to inflict that on a child.
