Is indigo too 'out there'?

Struggling to agree on names with my DH. He's discounting most of my favourite nature names (primrose, amber, pearl) and even my longstanding favourite Esme (he says Esme's are 'everywhere')
But he likes indigo (Indy as a nn) which really surprised me as he's usually fairly conservative.
I like the name but I'm concerned we are too 'normal' for it. Is it too much do you think?

Ha! That's what I'm worried about. Not keen on the other names that shorten to Indy and we don't want Indy on its own really. He might be persuaded on Primrose but he's made me have doubts on that now too.

Oh and I don't think many people would make the link @orinocosfavoritecake has... it's not something I've heard of anyway!

I quite like it - Indy is a nice nn. I guess for me it slightly depends on your surname, but if you both like it, I don't think it's a totally crazy name - unusual and not to everyone's tastes, but it's not totally wild!

I’d think you were an anti-vax nutter. online.ucpress.edu/nr/article-abstract/19/2/17/71146/Big-Bad-PharmaThe-Indigo-Child-Concept-and?redirectedFrom=fulltext

Which is a shame, because otherwise it’s a charming name.

Too out there, sorry.

Indira?
Irene?
Ingrid?
