I like Violet and Elijah.
Skye is an island. Indigo is a lesbian (nothing wrong with that, just saying).

But she's young and pretty and has 4 kids and is reading her poetry in public. I don't like her.

It's more the combination of the four fantastically pretentious names in a row that rather gets my billy goat-gruff up.

My siblings have normal names. I'm the anti-Fred in that equation.

OK, so now I know i really live in Hippytown USA -those are perfectly normal names roung here. I know kids with all of them. Several Violets and Elijahs. At least two Skyes (one male, one female -both with the e on the end) but only one Indigo I recall.

Could be worse -could have been Indigo, Violet, Magenta, and Puce. or Mulberry. Or Orchid. Or Heliotrope. I think I may need to have another kid just to call it Heliotrope. How many more kids to I have to have to give them all the cool/awful names I've found on here? I'm losing track. Radar?

Or if she'd done the full rainbow, imagine being the poor kid who gets "Yellow"

I'm surprised at Indigo. The other three have been ranked in the top 1000 names for decades, but Indigo never has been.

So...

there are a few current(ish) literary fiction novels with kids named indigo and...

there's the whole indigo children thing... it's a term for kids with esp-like "insight" whon apparently have an indigo aura

Don't forget the Indigo Girls!

(I adore this song. Shame it's about something I don't believe in)
