Bonny Blue was Scarlett's daughter in Gone With the Wind - because her eyes were as "Blue as the bonny blue flag!" according to Miss Melly (I'm a GWTW fan!)

I have vague memories of watching a Royal Variety Performance, I think Morecombe and Wise mihgt have been hosting, or doing a bit on the show and there was a little girl up on stage who was going to sing a song or something, and her name was Blue. Or am I imagining it?

My dog's called Blue, does that count?

I knew a boy at nursey called Blue.

I always wanted to call a child Blue but eventually got it out of my system by calling my cat Blue. Blue then passed away and my latest cat is called Boo. I like both those names but probably wouldn't use them for a child, mainly as I used to be a teacher and remember how the children with funny names were often pigeon holed by us. I had a pupil whose surname was Green, first name Emerald... Also a Mr. Joe King.

Violet, the boy I know is quite a bit younger - but what an awful thought that two mothers were unkind enought to lumber their sons with such a twee name. Incidentally, while we're here, why do some people think Boo is a name? It's a nonsense syllable like "phut" or "ouch".

Bluestocking, I have only just read the rest of the thread, I wonder if it is the same lad!

violetsky · 08/02/2008 01:23

DD is 13. After I had her, the lady who was in the next bed in the maternity unit and I intoduced our selves and our baabies to each other. Her baby was called ... drum roll please ... Sky Blue. I will always was a poncy name for a boy

I knew of a little girl called Addy Blue. She will be around 20 now...wonder if she's now changed her name to Sarah or something!

TooTicky · 07/02/2008 17:41

There was a boy called Blu in my junior school.

MyEye · 07/02/2008 17:39

I know a 7yo boy called Blue (first name). He does not live in a yurt... but his parents are alternative
He has a sibling with a colour name too
They both get away with it due to shedloads of charisma and general sweetness

sparklesandwine · 07/02/2008 17:32

lol did i 'kill' the thread with that

sparklesandwine · 07/02/2008 17:18

i had a cat called blue, was a boy, he got run over

springlamb · 07/02/2008 17:16

I know a greyhound called Blue. He's not though, he's a yucky brown colour and a skinny vicious b**r. Sorry.

dizzydixies · 07/02/2008 17:06

I wanted it as mn for dd2 but dh threw toys out the pram over it

bloke I used to work with has a boy called Grey so I suppose there are worse colours to be called after?!

ClareVoiant · 07/02/2008 17:06

i know a girl (well who's prob about 22 now) called holly-blue i think its the name of a butterfly.

Peapodlovescuddles · 07/02/2008 16:47

Boy. 5 in a fortnight. tis a middle name. first name jasper. I like it

seeker · 07/02/2008 14:16

I know a 5 year old boy Blue and a 12 year old girl. Everybody I know who knows either of them thinks it's bonkers. I quite like it - but only because I love Joni Mitchell. Loving Joni Mitchell means that I also love Chelsea - so I am not at all a reliable witness!

totalmisfit · 07/02/2008 14:12

i quite like it (on someone else's kid of course) reminds me of that Joni Mitchell album

I know a Blue - he is in his 40s! like the name for a boy

Littlefish · 07/02/2008 14:03

I've taught a boy called Blue (probably aged about 14 now), however, I think it might have been a nickname or his second name. I'm pretty sure his real name was William.

I know a girl who's middle name is Blue (sh's about 5 now).

UnquietDad · 07/02/2008 14:01

God, that is doubly poncy, actually choosing your own poncy name.

Sparkletastic · 07/02/2008 13:43

I know of a middle-aged lesbian lady called Blue but I think she chose it by deed poll...

3andnomore · 07/02/2008 13:38

I actually know a Blue, and at first I thought it was his nickname...but I found out that it was his real name...I didn't even realise that it ws a name, tbh...but then, I didn't realise that Boo was a name neither...so, obviously I am not educated, lol...
