Blue for a boy?

Hello,

I’m due a baby boy in the spring, my first child.

Dad isn’t on the scene so the name is all up to me, which would be great if I wasn’t so indecisive!

One I really really love but I’m not sure if it’s too out there is Blue... what do you think? Surname is something simple and very common, think Bones with a J. Does it work or does it clash too much?

Other names I like: River, Jude, Otis, Luca, Sky (is this seen as a girls name?), Bay, Flynn, Asher...

Any input would be great, I feel like I’m going round in circles with no one to bounce name ideas off. Thank you!

Sky is usually a girls name. I don't like Blue.

Jude, Otis and Luca are fine. The others I am less keen on Becaue they don't sound like names.

Blue just makes me think of the raptor on Jurassic World.

Agree with Bay being silly. Luca is nice.

River, Asher and Sky(e) sound great. Please not Blue.

Only if you get him a blue Corvette for his first car.

I had a cat called Blue. But I don't think he realised.
Just think of the teasing your lad will have all through school.

I like Jude and Asher.

Bay is silly and so it blue.

Awful. Absolutely awful. Don’t call your child Blue.
