Indigo

I am in the UK.
We are TTC and quite like the name Indigo for a boy as it will be a rainbow baby (we've had 2 MCs previously).
What are thoughts on this? Google is clear that it is predominately a male name with male definition but I have heard of girls called it and wondered what public view was?
Thank you

It is predominantly a girls name and I’d definitely think it was a girl.

Id think you had confused indigo with the boys name INIGO (as in Inigo Jones).

Congratulations op !

I really like it, but my first thought would be for a girl with the nn Indie x

My youngest named her kitten Indigo (bear with me), he is male, but it was named after the female character in The Worst Witch (Indigo Moon). We use the nickname Indie.

I consider it more of a girls name - it’s not awful by any means but I would be surprised to hear it on a boy.

I love it. I admit I did think it was a girls' name as know of a couple of girls called it but I love it for a boy as well.
