We love Indie but don't know if its too unusual it goes well with other girls names .
What do you think of Indie?

Yes, I agree with @Pemba. Horrible.

Indie rock, indie pop, indie neighbourhood coffee shop. Etc. In the US the word is used so commonly in these ways it would be much like calling her 'woke'. Dated signifier of once-cool things.

It's awful, sorry. Give her a proper name! India at least (then you could try Indie for short) but preferably a whole other name. What kind of names do your others have?

Love it, it’s what most people call my dd India… she loves it too.

It isn't unusual but is a nick name if that is what you like as a style.

Indie is on our list! Much prefer it to India :)

Indie was on our list but it got shot down that much on here when I suggested it it put me off it 😞 We are now going with Piper I think for DC3.

I really love Indie though.

I know an adult indie, she was a rockstar. Lovely human, gorgeous name

I like it as a nickname for India or possible Indigo. Not sure about it as a standalone name, it seems unfinished.

I like it.

I've only ever heard it used shirt for India but I guess it's a name in its own right?

I do really like girls names with an "e" sound on the end though!

Indie
Ellie
Phoebe
Charley
Jaime
Lily
Rosie
Gracie
Poppy
Ruby

It’s cute for a kid but I’m not sure about adult Indie?

Cotswoldmama · 29/08/2022 20:19

I like it, I wouldn't say it's that unusual though I know 3!

LOVE it!! This is one on my list xx
