'Me and you and a dog named blue'?

captainmummy · 07/02/2008 13:25

I kno a Bonnie Blue AND the surnmae began with B too.

I know of one Blue - don't have a problem with it. There are so many different names at DDs school it becomes irrelevant. (Though I do know someone at baby group who wanted to call her son Blue, against the wishes of her parents. I said I though it was a fine name, and then she said, 'They don't like it because our surname is White'!!)

southeastastra · 07/02/2008 13:16

ManxMum · 07/02/2008 13:14

I know of a 'Blue Rose' and her sister is 'Precious'

I think they are lovely names for girls

claireybee · 07/02/2008 13:11

I do. He is about 28 now. His family thought it would be classy to spell it Bleu, although they pronounce it Blue

Boy about 2. first name.

VictorianSqualor · 07/02/2008 12:55

Yes OBM, and a tree, in the middle of the living room

My nephew is called Indigo, my grandad called him "little boy Blue".

VictorianSqualor · 07/02/2008 12:37

I'm sure I remember saying that the kids that lived in the house I grew up in before me where called Chas and Blue.

SheherazadetheGoat · 07/02/2008 12:29

krabbiepatty · 07/02/2008 12:27

Scarlet
Violet
Indigo
Magenta
loads of colour names around...
Not that great though on reflection...

UnquietDad · 07/02/2008 12:25

Dakota Blue Richards from "The Golden Compass", and Janice Long's daughter.

Odd name if you ask me.

Are other colours eligible? Green? Yellow? Puce? Vermilion?

"Oy, Vermilion, getta move on, yer late fer school."

"Puce, stop it or I'll lamp yer."

catgirl · 07/02/2008 12:24

boy, nearly 3, middle name, suits him!

krabbiepatty · 07/02/2008 12:22

oh look at those failed italics...damn

krabbiepatty · 07/02/2008 12:22

Yes but Blu, as a middle name? Surely one can go off-piste a little with middle names (speaking as someone who in a moment of pregnant insanity pondered "shark")?

Blu · 07/02/2008 12:20

Well - I feel I should have a specifc perspective here....and I would NOT call a child Blue.

Wasn't there a character - male, and a cowboy to boot - in one of those series from the 1970s, High Chaparell or Rawhide or something, called Blue?

I knew a rather lovely golden retriever type dog called Blue.

PavlovtheCat · 07/02/2008 12:19

I think you might be right there Shehezerade - although both parents do work, bloody hard as well I might add. They have a girl called Aurora.

Nowt wrong with living in Yurt, some are very ornate, and some are bigger than my poxy apartment!
