blue + tate
blue + luna
blue + cassia

Don't call your child Blue. It's just mean!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 19/02/2022 19:28

blue + raine - v pretty
blue + tate - really dislike Tate
blue + luna - nice but Luna is very popular in both dogs and little girls
blue + cassia - so so
blue + star - what about seren or astri instead? Both mean star
blue + astrid - love Astrid

KylieCharlene · 19/02/2022 19:13

Astrid

RestingStitchFace · 19/02/2022 19:11

Astrid and Star are cute

Blue seems like something you'd name a dog imo....sorry!

Justkeeppedaling · 19/02/2022 17:10

I though Blue was usually used for boys.
But how about Black and Blue?

irishfarmer · 19/02/2022 16:58

I really dislike Blue too. I worked with one a few years ago. I can't remember where but his parents didn't live in Ireland when he was born. The name did not match Ireland. But his hippy/ druggy attitude did match his name.

On the girl names. I like Luna, but Blue and Luna the first thing I thought was Bluefin tuna, ya that makes no sense I know!

blameitonthecaffeine · 19/02/2022 16:41

Other ideas. Blue and:

Coco, Cleo, Calypso, Enya, Ever, Echo, Fallon, Ivy, Juniper, Juno, Lyric, Nova, Piper, Story, Saffron, Sorrel, Thyme, Wren, Zia, Zeryn

blameitonthecaffeine · 19/02/2022 16:33

I used to know a girl called Blue. British family in the UK. I rather like it. But yes, fits much more into Californian culture I'm sure.

I like Astrid best from your list but think I would go with Star or Raine as better matches for Blue.

Blue and Star or Blue and Raine sound like brilliantly cool, hippy surfer chick types. I love it.

Zodlebud · 19/02/2022 16:10

I also like Astrid and Cassia as a combination.

But if you are set on Blue then what about Noa? Yes, pronounced like Noah.

Astrid + Cassia

Blue + Noa

Howeverdoyouneedme · 19/02/2022 16:04

Astrid and Cassia.
Blue just makes me think of feeling blue or something even worse…

itsgettingweird · 19/02/2022 16:01

I agree with others re Blue. It's a little too wannabe celebrity - like Apple!

But the other names you've chosen are nice and different.

Astrid, Luna, Raine and Cassia being my favourites.

I also like Skye and Brooke

Rosieposie101 · 19/02/2022 15:34

I'd choose Astrid and Cassia. SO cool and great together. Blue is a bit Z list celeb baby name, whereas Astrid and Cassia are both cool AND classy

Elspethelf · 19/02/2022 15:32

From your list I think Astrid is my favorite. I also like Birdie, Juniper/Juno, Marigold and Lyra - these may suit your style :)

SaticoyStreet · 19/02/2022 14:43

Most people on here will be cringing at Blue but I had a feeling you lived in California or at least the states with those name choices, and I was right! For the record though I liked those names anyway and I’m in the UK where generally people are more traditional (yawn)

I like Blue and Tate I think.

Toodleloodle · 19/02/2022 13:02

I'd reconsider Blue. I like Cassia and Luna. You might also like -

Seren
Lyra
Phoebe
Serena
Celeste
Violet
Sienna
Sylvia
Isla
Skye

Happenchance · 18/02/2022 20:37

I'd choose something that isn't a thing, so that they have their own identity rather than being known as blue star or blue rain. That leaves Tate and Astrid.

Astrid is OK, but combined with Blue it makes me think of a blue-ass fly.

BlueFlavour · 18/02/2022 20:23

I like Blue and Star.
I also like Sailor Smile

Mumofgirls2017 · 18/02/2022 20:03

I think Tate and Star go best.

AdaColeman · 18/02/2022 17:33

Why not have another colour?
Jade
Blanche
Rose
Ruby
Saffron
Emerald
Sienna

idiotmagnet · 18/02/2022 17:31

Mist
Raine
Brooke
Indigo (Indi)
Briar

Hmbleybee · 18/02/2022 17:22

Blue is not a name. It's a primary colour.

NuffSaidSam · 18/02/2022 17:21

Blue and Red
Blue and Lilac
Blue and Bingo
Blue and no. 2 (for the second baby out)
