Blue = sad Joni Mitchell song about daughter she gave up for adoption who she called Blue. Hence lots of children of former or wannaby hippy/folksie types being Blue.

the girl in the philip pullman film golden compass has blue as her middle name. it is a a funny choice.

dd2 has an imaginary friend called lilac, which i think is much nicer

Yup. There was one in DD1's class at primary school. So he'd be 13 now.

Weird.
