Indigo

[softlysoftly]

Too try hard?

I like India as a short name.

Feel I may have started going a bit off track with my name search!

Indi not India!

I love Indigo. I have heard it at least once called out in a playground, so it's not completely unheard of.

Great name - strong, masculine, cool and not overused!

Why wouldn't you want to try hard to find a lovely name for your son ?!

I know a little boy called Indigo, he is super cute. His parents did get a few comments though.

Sorry I thought it was a lovely name for a girl!!!!

I love it as a name for either sex. Couldn't use it myself as I have pets named India and Digby, which I shorten to Indi and Digs - would look like the child was named after the critters!

I like it for a boy but not for a girl.

Indigo is a boys' name, not a girls name IMO. I love it. It's not the kind of name I usually go for (bit of a traditionalist, me), but I really love Indigo.

I was thinking girl! Not sure now!

It's a boys name, don't really like it but I'd never think girl, tbh

It's nice, although not my taste.

I tend not to like names that sort of come with a certain personality/style. I'd imagine an Indigo would absolutely have to be a veggie hippy!

I know a young female Indigo and it really suits her - she goes by Indi as a nn.

I like it, esp with Indie as a nn. I actually see it as more of a girl's name.

"Indigo is a boys' name, not a girls name IMO. I love it. It's not the kind of name I usually go for (bit of a traditionalist, me), but I really love Indigo."

No it isn't. It's not a name at all- it's a colour, Inigo is a boy's name........

I think its the NN I like. We are a shooting, fishing, farming type family so perhaps not lentil weavy enough for it

Not my taste but still nice :)

Does make me think of the old light spectrum roygbiv though. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, Indigo, Violet.

Like it. Great colour, mysterious and unusual. Nn Indie v cool.

I have only heard of it for girls, but would think it's fairly united. Indio and Inigo however are definitely boy's names.

Oops united = unisex

If you are thinking of India as a short name, then what about Indiana (unisex) as the long version?

Was used as a name for heroines in 18th/19th cent novels (by Fanny Burney and George Sand) long before Indiana Jones.

Personally, I'm not too keen on place names as personal names but if you like the name India then that is presumably not a worry for you.

Or what about long names Indira and Indrani (both girl's names)?

I only know one Indigo (a girl)

I didn't know that it was an actual name, but rather a colour of the rainbow.

Sounds pretty though :)

Have never heard it used as a name, but know of an Indie - not sure if it's short for India, Indigo or just a name on its own

I met a girl Indigo nn Indi, so seems very girly name for a boy to me!

I thought it was v cool. Had sisters Dolce and Aubrey if you like them?

Me too Coruskate

It's a new agey nonsense name for brats I'm afraid Op. That would put me off using it.
