But "fiery" is a legitimate alternate etymology for Blaze, even if it isn't the traditional one.

---

(Concentrate on the adjective. No one is advocating the inclusion of "eyes" in the meaning. That argument is detracting.)

---

Blue can mean "melancholy." Blue can mean the color. It is clear from your example that you mean the latter. Can anyone else demand that you accept the former?

---

That is true enough where the rules of grammar are expected to be enforced, but that is not the case in a euphonic naming system.

---

Euphonic naming embraces, at least, three types of names:

1. Classical names
   • this is where conventional onomastics shines
2. Modern language names; lexonyms? [Clarion, Glory, Jubilee, Reveille, Valor, Victory, etc.]
   • including homophones of the former [Blaze, Harry, Mark, Marysol ]
3. Made-up names (including portmanteaux); neonyms?
   • May be assigned a meaning by the parents (onomastic neologism); tectonyms? [our own Joshana & Nissiah]
   • May be close enough to a classical name to warrant such an interpretation; paronyms?
   • May be abstract, with no meaning at all; adeionyms? [Dweezil?] |adeio| is Greek for "empty"
