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

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Awful. India if you must (could be Indie for short) I don't like that really but at least it's more like a real name.

BritInAus · 22/08/2022 02:50

I really like it. But for the love of god, please not May/Mae/Mai as a middle name!

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.

This.

Give her a real name.

She won't be a toddler forever.

I would use Indiana or India on the BC and Indie as a nn

Panicmode1 · 22/08/2022 03:17

I know two. But they are dogs, so I don't see it as a serious name for a child.

It's OK as a nickname, but I wouldn't use it on the birth certificate as 'the name'.

autienotnaughty · 22/08/2022 03:20

I love it. Grace would work well. Or Amelia.

user478965227857 · 22/08/2022 04:15

I think India with the nickname Indie. Indie is a nn for India, it's not a standalone name.

pinklavenders · 22/08/2022 07:37

India? As in the country 🇮🇳? Why would you name your child after a country?

Dinoteeth · 22/08/2022 07:40

Indie Ref2

Please don't land your kid with such a daft name.

hattie43 · 22/08/2022 07:44

Love the name

Indie Rae ?

KosherDill · 22/08/2022 09:07

All I can think of is Indie 500.

Mummytobe333 · 22/08/2022 09:54

Not a fan sorry! 😞

Footbal · 22/08/2022 09:55

I hate it and it's my nieces name.

Lottieskeeper · 22/08/2022 10:00

I know 2 Indies.
One is India on the BC and the other is Indigo on the BC.
It's not an awful name but I prefer both official names.

ajandjjmum · 22/08/2022 10:40

We have a niece (not in the UK) who is Indianna - Indie for short. I love it.

Mehhhhhhh · 22/08/2022 12:14

I love it, would prefer Indiana so she has options.

middle name ideas with Indiana:

cecily
jessamy
Alice
abigail
delilah

Spikeyball · 22/08/2022 15:55

It's in the category of not a proper name and will date.

friesB4guys · 22/08/2022 16:13

I have an Indie Willow 💕

It was also going to be the boy’s name if she was a boy because boy’s names are too hard to think of!

pinklavenders · 22/08/2022 16:14

Indie is a nickname that doesn't travel well into other languages.

If you must, use Indiana or Indigo.

user1477391263 · 22/08/2022 20:55

It's really awful. It sounds like a nickname, and it's a twee word for a private school.

drunktrifle · 22/08/2022 20:58

It's a good nickname but it's not a name I'd want as an adult.

frenchie4002 · 22/08/2022 21:03

how about Inga as an alternative?

GeorgeorRuth · 22/08/2022 21:08

Indiana Jones?

GeorgeorRuth · 22/08/2022 21:08

Indiana Jones?

gardenmumma · 23/08/2022 10:19

I don't see a difference between Indie and other names like Evie, Rosie, Katie ect. Only Indie is less common and has a fresher feel IMO.
