My goodness, sounds like a rainbow or a color wheel.

        From another confessed unusual "first name" collector, isn't Zilphia one of the biblical names? 

        My family had some biblical doozies - Jeptha (J.C.), Enoch(Sprig), Ashnah and Zetta (Jenny) - all of them used nicknames - the ones in parentheses. Another branch from the deep south included ArieMae (Mae), WynoDean, MattieSue and WillaJean (Jean). ArieMae's brothers (after the firstborn son getting the father's name and being dubbed Junior) were named Red, Brown, Blue and Green... Red went on to name his daughter PinkieMae...
