Indigo Sky

Ok ok - you win, Beauden is out. But now I really need your help - baby due any day now.

How about Indigo Sky for a boy? Any better?

I like some of the suggestions but nothing really appeals.

I like soft sounding nature names like:

Aspen (too much potential for teasing)
Cypress (too much like Cyprus)

Can't have Forest or River or Winter which I like.

So, I have listened to everyone but now I have no name. And baby might be born any time.

Help.

Indigo SKy sounds like a description to me

Indigo ok (not one i would personally choose though)

Habbibu · 01/10/2010 15:49

People will think you think he's an indigo child.

You have 6 weeks after the birth to register, iirc.

Hm. I could like Indigo (although people might think you'd meant Inigo) but coupled with Sky it is a bit much for my taste. I'm not much into the nature names thing though and I sort of feel like Indigo is a girl's name, although really who cares about that.

What about:

Rain
Brook
Brock (prn Brahk)
Quince

Definitely not, sounds (as IBE said) like a description.
Indigo isn't too bad (what would you shorten it to?) but I think it needs a middle name, not a middle noun.

Bumblelion · 01/10/2010 16:00

I think it sounds lovely (although I was thinking more for a girls name). I love nature sounding names.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 01/10/2010 16:01

sounds like a girls name to me, sorry

pinkgrasshopper · 01/10/2010 16:10

Definitely a girl's name IMO...sorry.

boudoiricca · 01/10/2010 16:13

I know a little girl Indigo.

It has grown on me a lot.

I agree that if you were to use it you need a name, not a noun, in the middle.

AlpinePony · 01/10/2010 16:14

Are you sure you're trying to name a child and not a novel to be found in the 50% off bin?

LaTristesse · 01/10/2010 16:36

Personally I love it. My friend's teenage son has Indigo as a middle name. (They are old hippies though!)

LetThereBeRock · 01/10/2010 16:36

It's a terrible name.

LetThereBeRock · 01/10/2010 16:37

And utterly ridiculous.

summery · 01/10/2010 16:38

I actually quite like it but then am a fan of more unusual names.

However, the first thing that came to mind is the name of a bag that is on the Clarks website at the moment which is quite similar.

thisisyesterday · 01/10/2010 16:39

i think it's nice. for a girl. somehow it just doens't sound boy-ish
tho i guess it would grow on me if i knew a boy called it

what about Rowan?

thisisyesterday · 01/10/2010 16:39

or Skyler

Skyrg · 01/10/2010 16:40

Agree that if I heard it, I would think of a girl.

What about:

Axel
Jonah
Calder
Robin

telsa · 01/10/2010 16:40

I know a boy called Indigo. I like it. Kind of native American.

MrToad · 01/10/2010 16:44

Indigo is ridiculous and Indigo Sky even more so. Sorry.

You have had a lot of negative feedback about various names you have chosen, why don't you make it easier for yourself and stop asking for feedback on MN, just choose a name you like and go for it.

taintedpaint · 01/10/2010 16:44

You think Aspen will get him teased, but not Indigo Sky Hmm. Sorry, but it's a terrible name.

BalloonSlayer · 01/10/2010 16:45

Have you thought about James?

DaisyDaresYOU · 01/10/2010 16:48

Noo Indigo sky sounds very girly.He will not appreciate having wacky names.Im all for unpopular names but not silly ones.

DaisyDaresYOU · 01/10/2010 16:51

Theres a boy in school with a wacky and i have to admit me my fam dp and es fam,thought poor boy

PosieParker · 01/10/2010 16:53

Indigo is okay but with Sky it sounds very Glastonbury try hard.

SparklyJules · 01/10/2010 16:55

Isn't it the name of an online gift company? Sure I've seen it on an envelope somewhere...

Soft sounding names are good, what about Orren?

BalloonSlayer · 01/10/2010 16:56

Are you thinking of Indigo Starfish, Sparklyjules?
