I am in the UK.
We are TTC and quite like the name Indigo for a boy as it will be a rainbow baby (we've had 2 MCs previously).
What are thoughts on this? Google is clear that it is predominately a male name with male definition but I have heard of girls called it and wondered what public view was?
Thank you

I'm so sorry for your losses but I really don't like it, for girls or boys

Inigo is a boy's name.

Am sorry, but 'google' is wrong. Most baby names sites are rubbish.
Here are the facts for England and Wales, based on official government statistics:

In 2018 - the last year for which England and Wales official figures are available- there were 90 girls named Indigo, and 11 boys.

I know several girls with that name but no boys

I like it, the 2 I know are both girls and usually I am not keen on unisex names but I think this one does work and is fab for a boy. I do know one boy called Indie but not sure if it's short for anything. It really suits him!
