Middle name to go with Indie

35 replies

laurenamium · 10/11/2010 12:53

I have decided on Indie for the name of my little girl, I have posted before asking opinions of it and got a mixed bag but I do really like it so its staying Grin

But Im really struggling to find a middle name to go with it? I dont want Rose as its just too popular at the minute and I have a horse called Rosie...Any help appreciated!

I wanted to call a girl Indy! But I've managed to have two boys so far. It's a lovely name. I would have had a three syllable middle name to make it flow well. e.g. Indy Francesca

Tidey · 10/11/2010 12:56

Beatrice
Victoria
Louise

Lots of things would sound fine with it. Probably not Anna though.

laurenamium · 10/11/2010 13:09

lol at tidey I liked Grace but was quickly informed that said in a hurry it would sound like 'in disgrace'

I have a 3 syllable sir name so thought a 1 syllable name would flow better, but Im open to suggestions Grin

Would Indie be short for anything?
There is a girl in DS's school called Indianna, with Indie for short and I think its lovely

You could then have Indianna Grace or Indianna Rose etc and it would flow really well

laurenamium · 10/11/2010 13:33

I did originally like India, but then said I would shorten it to Indie all the time anyway so I decided Indie would be her name rather than having one that's just going to get shortened

I always thought Indianna was a boys name?

Love Indie and India
I think Indigo sounds more like a boys name.

Navy?

Pasiphae · 10/11/2010 14:28

Indie Josephine? Indie Thisbe, Indie Hebe, Indie Verity, Indie Agnes? Indie Mabel?

senua · 10/11/2010 14:33

LOL @ Mackerel. I had similar thoughts.
It's just asking for cruel nicknames.

FIMBOfedupofrandomfireworks · 10/11/2010 14:34

Indie Sapphire

Indie Camille

Indie Luisa

Indie Jennifer

Lexx · 10/11/2010 14:41

Indianna is the name I would love to call a daughter but not brave enough!!! Indie May, Indie Lara, Indie Alanna??

expectingno3 · 10/11/2010 14:58

I second Lexx's May. Very popular at the moment but really does go with Indie. Some others:

Indie Estella
Indie Eliza
Indie Beth
Indie Bea

Rindercella · 10/11/2010 15:05

I would think that as laurenamium has decided on the name Indie and is definitely going to name her daughter it, it's a bit off to make mocking suggestions for middle names.

I have an India and her middle name is Clarabelle after one of her grandmothers. I didn't know about the cow connection before we named her though, so perhaps I wouldn't have chosen it armed with that knowledge. However, I still think it's a very pretty name and flows well.

Agree that Rose is too popular as a middle name now. Like the suggestion of May.

Oh, and my India is frequently shortened to Indy Smile

laurenamium · 10/11/2010 21:01

Laurenamium, you are a good sport. It is a lovely name, it's true that daft things can be tagged on to it, but since you're aware of that and still love it, it's a winner! There are very few names that can't be mucked about with.

I do feel that this topic would be redundant if only glowing comments were left about name choices!

MackerelOfFact · 11/11/2010 09:42

laurenamium Thank you for taking my suggestions in the spirit they were intended. Grin FWIW (and I know you weren't asking opinions on the name) I actually think Indie is really a pretty name, so it wasn't a dig at your choice.

Seriously though, I like Indie Lola.

indiechick · 11/11/2010 11:08

Chick obviously!

wigglesrock · 11/11/2010 11:17

Second/third claps to laurenamium for having such a good sense of humour. I can poke fun because dd2 has the most popular name in the world EVER so obviously I am lacking in original thought Grin

senua · 11/11/2010 11:20

You are a good sport but I still think calling her Indie is open to abuse. Why not register as India and use Indie as the nn.

Have you thought of her married name? A quick flick through the phone book gives:
Garrett
Green
Hall
Hart
Male
Moone
Potts
Raine

I too think a 1 syllable name sounds better. I'm having a little girl due in 10 day and have chosen the name Sienna Lucia which many people say sounds like a holiday resort but me and my DH love it so we're sticking with it :)
