What do you think about names based off colours? I generally like them, but would never use two or more colour names in a sibset. Here are a few I can think of.

Sienna*
Jade
Amber
Indigo
Rose
Ebony
Ivory
Bianca*
Violet
Jasper
Garnet*
Ruby
Saffron

* = the ones I really like

If I've missed any--and I'm sure I have--comment with them!

Edit: Here are additions to the list, courtesy of the comments below:

Blanche
Lilac
Clementine
Heather
Sapphire
Hazel
Gray
Esmeralda
Fulvia
Poppy
Scarlett
Azure
Cerise
Coral
Iola
Lila
Xanthe
Lavender
Sage

Drat, it looks like that site has changed, I don't see the nice search feature it used to have. :( You could look up names that meant all kinds of things. *sigh* Disappointing.

But oooh, I do love Esmeralda, Sage, and Hazel too! I admit I don't like Fulvia at all though...reminds me too much of something else..>>'
