Talk:Color Naming Rule/@comment-27730869-20190212172847

So it seems, with some characters, their surname or full name being/meaning/evoking a color is sufficient to meet CNR, but not their given name. Some like Ghira (the only cited CNR adherence is with his surname "Belladonna"), James Ironwood, and Velvet Scarlatina do this. Can I assume this means there's sufficient in-universe precedence for a name like Alith Indiko? Indiko is Greek for indigo (lit. Indian dye), and Alith was chosen as a shortening of Alithino Indiko, which means True Indigo (Google Translate, incidentally, does translate the shortened "Alith" as "true" as well). Or Xiyao Mao (surname first). His full name is Mandarin for Jaguarundi (lit. thin waist cat), a species of wildcat typically with reddish fur. But neither his given name nor his surname mean any color on their own ("cat" and "thin waist" respectively)

The biggest problem I have is that for the story I'm writing, these characters aren't part of any Huntsman team, rather are a group of scavengers in Vacuo. So their full names aren't likely to come up in casual conversation throughout the story, although I suppose I can find some way to get them said. What do you guys think, am I okay with these names?
