Thoughts on the name Indie? What middle name would you pair?

Mai (pronounced May)

hedgehogFC · 21/08/2022 20:12

I like Indie.

ariesalien · 21/08/2022 20:13

Love!

WishDragon · 21/08/2022 20:16

I really like it but not paired with May/Rose/Grace which are the filler names for girls currently.

TheNonsensePotter · 21/08/2022 20:17

It's quite dull.

Willowrose63 · 21/08/2022 20:19

Lovely name!

BigYellowElephant · 21/08/2022 20:20

I know quite a few Indies, mostly girls. I think it's really cute. Definitely not May as a middle name though

Luredbyapomegranate · 21/08/2022 20:27

Please don’t. It’s so try hard (we are cool parents, totally, yeah) and it will date like fuck. Give her a proper name.

Sherrystrull · 21/08/2022 20:28

Indie-Anna

winterchills · 21/08/2022 21:01

I love it !!

Wowitshot · 21/08/2022 21:13

The only Indy I know is a boy

pinklavenders · 21/08/2022 21:15

Sounds like short for Independent. Not a nice name imo.

pinklavenders · 21/08/2022 21:15

Or short for Indian?

historygeek12 · 21/08/2022 21:16

I have an Indianna who is nearly 30 ! we call her indie for short

mathanxiety · 21/08/2022 21:18

I would use India or Indya on the BC and Indie as a nickname.

Middle names:
Alexandra
Alicia
Alannah
Elspeth
Emmeline
Evelyn
Isabella
Olivia
Octavia

I think names starting with vowels work best.

DramaAlpaca · 21/08/2022 21:19

It's got a bit of a 'trying so hard to be cool' vibe, plus it's twee. Not my style.

StarCourt · 21/08/2022 22:05

I
Love the name it's why I named my dog Indie

mogwa · 21/08/2022 22:13

I don't see it as being a real name with substance.

gardenmumma · 22/08/2022 01:23

I love it.
Not a fan of Mae, rose ect.

Indie Juliet
Indie Lucille
Indie Celeste
Indie Veronica
Indie Jasmine

J0y · 22/08/2022 01:29

I prefer Lindy

GrimDamnFanjo · 22/08/2022 01:56

Indy - Indiana Jones!

ReeseWitherfork · 22/08/2022 02:00

I know an Indigo who goes by Indy. Not my cup of tea but not horrendous. Similar vibes to Willow, River, Juniper… which all seem to go down OK.

starrynight21 · 22/08/2022 02:00

DD's best friend is Indi ( no e ). I love it, it really suits her sparkly personality.

This, I’m afraid.

SurpriseSurprise · 22/08/2022 02:07

It just makes me think of a dogs name.
