    I like the name and it’s a conterder. There are some other names that mean “green” too like we’ve posted in various places.

    –Kelly

    –Jade

    –Ivy

    The only issue I have with Esmeralda is that there is already a Disney Character that most people know named that I don’t think they’d want to confuse the audience.

    Is Esmerelada the gypsy lady?  There have been mentions of gypsies as a mythological type in this story.

    Hm interesting…the other Esmerelda I can think about is one of the aunts of the main character in Bewitched.

    Esmerelda would be nice but yeah, we already have Esmerelda from Hunchback of Notre Dame. It might be too confusing to name WWW that. I go with Victoria.

    Out of curiosity, I looked up names that mean green & found some other choices:

    Beryl

    Chloris

    Verna or Laverne

    Virdiana

    Also, Yara is a Brazilian goddess with green hair.

    I actually would like Esmerelda and tying in to Hunchback and gypsies as they mentioned them a few times. Ruth’s necklace for example.

    Plus its the Aunt on Bewitched–a show of magic in a (well at the time) modern world.   Goes great with my crack idea of Charming having a sister we never knew about who’s the witch.

    I like Ivy. It sounds like an older name. Ever notice that most of the female names on the show and in a lot of the Disney films are short. All but Mary Margret, Cinderella & Anastasia are no more then 6 letters.

    Are there girl names that mean wicked or another trait? Or maybe a name that goes with red hair. Because maybe if WWW wasn’t born green then she may not have had a “green” name.

    Names are a speciality of Rumple’s so if he had any involvement with WWW as a baby, maybe he helped choose her name so “green” name would fit then. He could have a side business helping parents chose baby names based on what future he could “see” happening to the child. “When you see the future, there is irony everywhere.” – Rumple

    Maybe.

    Because maybe if WWW wasn’t born green then she may not have had a “green” name.

    if we’re going there, I’m going to say Scarlett.  Ruby’s already taken. 😉

    with the WWW, I think, her origin story could go either way.  she could have been turned green or born green.

    Oooooh. I do like that name. And red is also the color of the slippers in the MGM movie. Sorta tie in.
