Is that ridiculous?

I wanted the name for DD1 but was vetoed. Now pregnant with dc3 and I still like Indigo.

Too knobish?

Will the child be tall, thin and glossily dark haired? Then I think Indigo is fair enough.

I think it might be difficult for everyone to carry off.

I think it's cool but will invariably be shortened to 'Indy'. I agree with the previous poster, I imagine indigo to be a photographer who has a dream catcher tattoo and that type of hair that dries beautifully after a dip in the sea.

I think it's beautiful.

But I would definitely expect her to be arty, theatrical or eco-minded and to have a hippy/alternative style and outlook on life. I'd be a bit disconcerted to meet a suburban accountant called Indigo.

Its lovely but she would have to have blue black hair. Or dark blue eyes.

I like it but it's very hippyish and potentially a lot to live up too. Maybe save it as a middle name?

I like it. I work with an Indigo. It's a name that is enjoyable to say.

There's a European guy called indigo who works in a local shop, he's tall slim and dark, pretty gorgeous really. I like it

Sounds like a boy's name to me as it is close to Inigo.

If your other children are called Scarlet and Violet, just don't go there!

Yes it is ridiculous, sorry. It's trying far to hard to be cool and failing.

Picturing poor Indigo saying her name when she starts school. Not the easiest name to pronounce.
