What are your options on Blue for my DS??

It just sounds a bit 'bleurgh'.

Bloo. It just sounds like a noise. Like Joey speaking French.

It's a no from me.

I knew a female blue many years ago (I was a child and she was an elderly lady).

It isn't a name for my taste.

Where I live there are quite a few Blues - fathers are Rangers supporters.

There is even a Bleu but it's pronounced Blue Grin

Ridiculous "name"

What is going on with ridiculous names today? I mean they are always a bit ridiculous on MN, but seriously what are people thinking?
I’ve noticed

A lot of twin names too Hmm

You're naming a person, not a pet.

I've known a lot of Blues - but they've all been horses.

I know a Blue and he's lovely; calm, patient and such beautiful eyes. He's a golden retriever, a gorgeous boy.

Just awful

I immediately think of Blues Clues

We did have a fish called Blue.

For a dog, not a human.

WendyHoused · 21/07/2020 16:54

Puce?
Vermillion?

Chartreuse is probably a girl, so I'd avoid that.

Somuchroom · 21/07/2020 16:54

I like it.

Soubriquet · 21/07/2020 16:53

Can you imagine a 10 year old Blue?

A 15 year old Blue?

A 39 year old Blue?

If yes and you feel that he would be ok with his name then yes.

If you can’t see past the toddler Blue, the no. A name is for life not just for babies

countrygirl99 · 21/07/2020 16:52

Very popular for horses.

DrDetriment · 21/07/2020 16:51

Please don't.

Finfintytint · 21/07/2020 16:51

Orange is nicer.
