Ok, I like the name -Blu as a second name.
My ideas are..
Harper-Blu or Delilah-Blu?
Yes, I know it's a bit out there. But I like it.

Got to agree with the loo cleaner comment sorry. Blush

Topseyt · 11/09/2017 16:31

Blue movie.

OrgyofSausages · 11/09/2017 15:55

Awful. Blue is also used as an adjective to mean pornographic or overtly sexual.

So how about Porno - Blu ?

Keri-blu
Cornflower-blu

No, Footle, when I said, "Do you mean a hyphen?" he said, "What? No, a little line!"

Footle · 11/09/2017 14:56

MyBrilliant, isn't it more likely that he did know the right word , but came across a lot of people who didn't?

MyBrilliantDisguise · 11/09/2017 14:17

I had a student called John-Paul and when he was telling me his name (I was writing on a list) he said "John little line Paul."

So all I can say is if you are going to have a misspelled name for your daughter, at least tell her what a hyphen is.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 11/09/2017 14:14

Op I don't think you should have taken that E (off)

Only1scoop · 11/09/2017 14:05

Will you use it in 'full' Op

With the ....erm hyphenated bit

Only1scoop · 11/09/2017 14:04

Or
'Judge ....-Blu Residing'

Maybe she will marry a Mr Green and want to be all traditional, and use his name

Aria blu foes in the same stable as
Shaun Lamb
Ben Dover
Mike hunt

If this isn't a wind up please don't label your child with a crazy name Hmm

Fia256 · 11/09/2017 14:01

Also, the best advice I've ever seen when naming babies is to introduce yourself to people as that name and see how it makes you feel. If you cringe saying it then don't saddle your child with it.

We know of a baby born who's been named Blossom. It might be a pretty word but it's not a name and I can guarantee if the mother introduced herself as that name all day long she'd realise what a terrible choice it was

PsychoPumpkin · 11/09/2017 13:54

Why don't you get a cat and call it Aria-Blu and then call your child something that won't set them up for a lifetime of Hmm?

To be fair, it's a daft name for a cat too but at least the cat won't have to go to school and be bullied.

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 11/09/2017 13:45

Hmm I'd seriously recommend the Amal and George Clooney school of thought for naming human babies.

Puppymouse · 11/09/2017 13:26

Sorry OP desperately trying not to wince. Way too toilet duck.

TheDiamondMumcrafter · 11/09/2017 11:32

Naming not making!

TheDiamondMumcrafter · 11/09/2017 11:31

I wish prospective parents would realise they are making a grown up. What might look cute on a baby (or pet) will probably look fucking ridiculous on an adult.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 11/09/2017 11:25

Not necessarily teased in schools,I knew a few children called Blu when I was training and this was 20 years ago. That was in London though.

IEye · 11/09/2017 11:23

Haven't RTFT but please tell me you don't really think Sky-Blu is good
