Former footballer and Question of Sports captain Emlyn Hughes had a son and daughter, both named after him Emlyn Hughes jnr and Emma Lynn Hughes.

As a lifelong Liverpool fan I bought my daughter a BIG red and white Teddy 50+ years ago. We called him Emlyn. She still has him.
One of my favourite ever players, we called him Crazy Horse.
 
That shade of 'yellow' looks green to me. I've been tested for colour blindness and I don't have it.

Sort of green ish

I call them yellow because that is what people call them

We do have a problem at home where my wife calls some bowls blue
when to be they are well over the boundary in green!!

That's the discussion I have from time to time with my wife. My colour vision is ok-ish but I can't distinguish between some shades. I argue that as colours are just labels we attach to various wavelengths of light and as far as I'm aware there are no strict cut of points where one colour becomes another, then my perception is perfectly valid. 🌈😁

I thought Tennis balls were that colour so they could still play in Snow. :whistle:

I have a Liverpool teddy too! We lived in the far NW of England till I was 5, so I had an excuse to be a Liverpool fan.

Anyway, many years later, i got to meet the fella in June (in his birth town, not that many miles from mine):
