Indigo Sky

[arizonagirl]

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.

thanks for all these comments - will look through them once little ones are in bed. Yes, perhaps Indigo Sky is too out there but still like Indigo.

Idaho - not even sure how that is pronounced - is it a name. I thought Aspen might be potential teasing material because of 'ass' sound at the beginning. Perhaps it's only me that sees that?

Yes, like Beau but would sound ridiculous with our surname. Beaumont I just don't like. Love Winter but can't as we have an Autumn. Will look through your suggestions later.

I really don't mind the harsh criticism - would prefer me to have that anyday than call my child something absolutely ridiculous. Having said that, sorr, but child will never be one of the Thomas trains - now, that would be far too boring.

Idaho is a state of the USA a la Arizona.

Pronounced 'Eye-Da-Hoe'

I agree, how boring would life be without a daily kicking at school? to give your child a normal name would be to deny him such pleasures as being laughed at by peers, mispronounced by teachers, and looked over for jobs and promotions.

Thomas will manage companies. Indigo Sky will serve fries.

Do you mean that you already have a child called Autumn?

Really?

OP do you like Inigo? Much better than Indigo IMHO, it's a real name.

What about Orlando?

So what in the name of the living lord is a Skyler? is it a bird?

'Skyler is an anglicised form of the Dutch surname Schuyler'

Apparently...

Sounds namey to me anyway. Indigo doesn't, just sounds like a colour.

Rowan Atkinson was male last time I looked

Ah put pink, how thoroughly did you look?

I quite like Indigo Sky (but then I have a little boy Sky myself ). You will have to be prepared that a lot of people will think his name is ridiculous (it doesn't bother me, but if it will bother you then maybe you need to choose something else).

Whatever you choose, make sure you love it.

Oh and x-posted, he is a Skyler. Yes, a chavvied up anglicised version of Schuyler.

(PS work in Inner London schools, and never heard anyone being teased for their name. Mugged for their phone maybe...)

I thought it would be a girls name.

I know a Skylar - again, she's a girl (about 3 now).

Awful - but Inigo is lovely.

They all sound horribly try-hard hippie.

How about Inigo Asher? Or Inigo Rowan?

Why the flouncy names? whats wrong with a real name?

Rowan or Rohan are lovely. Indigo I would consider to be a girl's name. I like Autumn.
There was a boy in today's paper called Reef.

I like Rowan and Rohan too. And Ash/Asher/Ashley.

Ooh, Leif!

I have to agree with Colditz though, picking a name purely because it's unusual can go tits up for your child in future years. There are a great number of names which are neither common nor 'boring'.

probably short for refer loool!
