Lavender’s Blue is plenty catchy to me, but becuase it makes me think of the Marillion song, Lavender, but I suppose that’s catchy for the wrong reason.

Lately Lavendar. I like that.
Also, from JulieB:
Love’s Lavendar Lost. Yes, meaningless and yet, somehow, apt.
I’m a week late and only halfway down the comments, but had to pitch these 2.

My favorite is still One in Vermillion (that was RfP’s), but that one and Shrieking Violet will have to come in the second set of four, if I do a second set. Thank God we brainstormed all those titles so long ago.

Perilwinkle.

Shrieking Violet has now ruined all other titles for me. That one gets my vote.

How about “The Lavender Garotte”, if you want colorful strangling?

By: Jenny

I don’t know my Guns n’ Roses, either, so that’s two of us.

I think we’re going to go with Lavender’s Blue. It’s pretty tame, but she does get strangled so there’s that. As misspiggy pointed out, I should have gone with something besides Lavender. Which is still a possibility. Violet is Lavender’s niece, but I could call her something else and use Violet for Lavender and then use Shrieking Violet which at least has snark which Lavender’s Blue doesn’t on the face of it.

But thank you all very much for playing.

“Periwinkle? Really? I’d think that would be harder than Lavender.”

It’s been pointed out to me that I made an error or that I just don’t know my Guns n’ Roses. The suggestion is supposed to be Guns n’ Lavender.

I wish you were looking for violet or periwinkle instead of lavender.

Lavender Line-Up is great, Mary Stella. Here are our group suggestions: “Lavender and Violence” (play on violets), and “Guns and Lavender”.

I’m a big fan of John D. MacDonald’s Travis McGee series with the colors. Love the idea of using them in your titles.

Longing for Lavender
Longing in Lavender
Leave Me in Lavender
Lavender Longings

Without knowing the source of the mystery — Would Lavender Larceny suit?

Missing persons case? Lost in Lavender

Dipsomaniac villain — Lavender Lush

And I keep thinking of old ladies and lavender water, but can’t think how to work it.

Better Late than Lavender — love that one!

OMG! I just thought of a really good bad title. Like the puns I tell my SIL to make him groan.

LavEnder Blue

Oops. Forgot to add Code Blue Lavender

By: Marta

Marta — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:57:20 +0000

Thanks. Too bad it doesn’t match the cadence of the other three titles. That’s the hang up, finding a play on words that’s short and snappy for a 3-syllable word.

Har! I like it too.

I’m starting to think Jenny picked such a hard color to keep us busy and out of her hair. And, it’s working.
