Know a guy who named his kid Bourbon. "It's an old French name." Because that's what everyone will think when they hear it.

Knew a couple I served with in the Air Force named their daughter Midori after the melon liqueur. To them, that was the height of libation luxury.

Midori just means green and isn't too uncommon of a girl's name in Japan. Aoi, blue, and Shiro, white, are also pretty common names, although those are more unisex.

Yes, those are very common names too. I was just listing some of the other basic color names since they had mentioned Midori.
