I recognize two of those

I recognize two of those color names - Red, as I had an uncle with that name, and Goldia, as I had an aunt by that name.

Cool. I forgot about amber and jade. Thinking along those natural substance lines: Pearl.

Gij's nickname growing up was "Yellow"....something about his fear of singing on key.

John,
I don't think this quite qualifies, but a girl at my bank who roams the floor as a hostess is named "rainbow" : )

My faucet just reminded me of another obvious one I overlooked: Rusty. And another - Sterling.
Despite the fixture's luster, no telling what will come out of it.

Added later: Dusty

A little off-subject, but....

A shipmate of mine named his three daughters April, May, and June.

A Marine neighbor of mine, when I was a flight student in Pensacola, had a new baby girl... named her Maureen Cora. No lie.
