Bit like Noa in that it feels a bit 2017/2018.

I much prefer India (indie for short) with a traditional middle ie-

India Charlotte
India Catherine
India Sophie
India Melissa
India Matilda

I really dislike the rhyming names

I have a friend Indie. It is short for Indira.

I don’t dislike the sound but it’s s shortening of something, and I feel like I missed something where the OP said girls name? I went back to check. I instantly thought boy, Indiana Jones, possibly Indigo. Never crossed my mind as a girl name even though I know India is usually for girls. Never crossed my mind as a full name etither rather than as a derivative form. Paired with middle names it just sounds wrong.

Bland always reminds me of Hippie's

RaininSummer · 23/08/2022 22:53

It's an ok nickname but I can't see it as a real name.

Wildflowerbeauty · 23/08/2022 22:22

Sorry to say but I really don’t like it

Is your surname is Jones then you are morally obliged to use Anna as her middle name.

ClivePowermax · 23/08/2022 21:03

I did used to like it though Sad

Lemonsyellow · 23/08/2022 20:53

I really dislike it. It’s a twee non-name with no class.

ClivePowermax · 23/08/2022 20:49

Luredbyapomegranate · 21/08/2022 20:27

Please don’t. It’s so try hard (we are cool parents, totally, yeah) and it will date like fuck. Give her a proper name.

It's the opposite where I am - it's a bit chavvy.

DaisyP24 · 23/08/2022 20:45

Love it!

Indie Orla or Indie Briar are lovely
