My friend is pregnant and considering the name Blue still dont no what to make of it wondered what you think of it and what middle names would go well with it?

A nice middle name would be Oyster

DottieRose · 27/05/2012 17:35

Sounds like you were copying Beyonce

picnicbasketcase · 27/05/2012 17:35

Not keen, sorry. Too much scope for blowjob jokes and 'why do you look so blue.'

Bunbaker · 27/05/2012 17:35

Is their surname Cult?

colditz · 27/05/2012 17:35

Waffle also fits well

hiveofbees · 27/05/2012 17:37

I dont like it for a name. Though I have heard of boys and girls being called Blue so it is versatile Smile

Stellan · 27/05/2012 17:40

Ridiculous.

IDismyname · 27/05/2012 17:43

Well I like the name Grin

wheniwishuponastar · 27/05/2012 19:30

It sounds more of a boys name.

ErikNorseman · 27/05/2012 19:37

It's not a name.

TeWiDoesTheHulaInHawaii · 27/05/2012 19:39

I think it sounds sad. Look -> Sad

QuennEdith · 27/05/2012 19:40

The only Blue I knew IRL was a biker with a criminal record. I find it really difficult to see this as a girls name.

WantAnOrange · 27/05/2012 19:42

TBH I knew a girl called Blue and her mother was downright neglectful. She just didn't give a shit, but her kids names were like fashion accessories to her if that makes sense? So it screams chav to me. However, whatever name is chosen, someone somewhere will think of a negative connection

MoonHare · 27/05/2012 19:53

I really don't like it, especially as a girl's name.

There are so many lovely names surely your friend has others she likes?

RosemaryandThyme · 27/05/2012 19:55

How about Bluebell instead .

I taught a Blu (girl)...in an independent school so definitely not chavvy! I managed to resist asking her if her middle name was 'Tack' Grin

Ammz · 27/05/2012 20:11

I have a female cousin and her name is spelt Bleue. She is beautiful, definately not a chav and i think the name really suits her! On the right person it would be a beautiful name!

PestoPenguin · 27/05/2012 20:12

Er, no.

ownworstenemy · 27/05/2012 20:13

Bleue looks like you'd pronounce it 'bleargh'. As in vom.

lovemygirlivy · 27/05/2012 21:38

Too much like Blue Ivy - Beyonce's daughter

Badgerina · 27/05/2012 23:00

Blue Velvet.
Blue Danube.
Blue Moon.
Blue Peter.
Blue Bottle.

It's not really a name. A middle name at a push.

I like it - but as a middle name, and possibly for a boy more than a girl.

I agree though that everyone will assume your friend is copying Beyonce!

BackforGood · 27/05/2012 23:24

Awful.
It's not a name, it's a colour, or sometimes describes feeling sad / down.
