Can't seem to make up our minds!

I vote indigo only as it's much more unique x

 

[redlemonade]

Thanks everyone! I agree that Indigo is so unique too, I love that it's not a commonly used name.

Sorry your DH doesn't like the name Indigo, serenyx, my DH vetoed loads of my suggestions too. Men!

 

[BethHx]

I adore Matilda and would be using it if OHs dog wasn't called Tilly. Although I prefer the spelling 'May' x

 

[RubyRainbows]

I vote for Indigo - it's gorgeous & unique!

Let us know what you decide, i see she will be here any minute!!

 

[redlemonade]

Thanks everyone

I promise to update the thread with whatever we eventually go with - whenever she eventually arrives! My ticker is off but I'm 3 days overdue

 

[wannabemomy37]

I like both but would choose Indigo as I think it goes better with Mae.
let us know what you decide!!

 

[dizzy65]

i love Indigo

 

[redlemonade]

Looks like Indigo is in the lead

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the opinions and votes.

 

[Rachie004]

Another vote for Indigo from me

I'm not sure why, I just think it's more 'you' if that makes any sense? xx

Haha, thanks Rachie. I think you might be right. It's such a beautiful name I think I can see her being a leader in Greenpeace with such a name lol!

 

[Rachie004]

Yes, I have visions of her growing up with dreadlocks I'd love to have dreadlocks but OH won't let me!

 

[pisces_sun]

I love Matilda. It was on my list of potential names for my baby, but my family vetoed it. It means "battle mighty". It's a total warrior name.

Aw mean OH!

I love the idea of my little girl growing up to have dreads

Aw why did your family veto it? I think it's a very strong name indeed, but still so feminine and lovely

So, as a person who is kind of square and traditionalist generally, and super conservative when it comes to names (and would likely never have a kid with dreads), my vote is:

Indigo Mae

Which initially seems weird since Matilda is obviously more common and traditional. BUT the middle name Mae gives Indigo a more vintage feel. If the middle name were say, "Rain" or "Andromeda" or something more clearly more nature-child or creative then the combo might be over the top (at least if your child decided to be a businesswoman, lawyer and not an artistic type). Indigo Mae, depending on her personality could go artsy/ funky, or preppy/fresh, or could be the name of an old-school grande dame (think India Wilkes from Gone with the Wind).

Nothing wrong with Matilda, but how often can you go as creative/cool as Indigo without it sounding a bit too weird for lame people like me?

Thank you so much! I absolutely love your response You've made me love the name Indigo even more than I already did! I agree that Mae kind of 'normalises' it a little or something. I live in a very traditional country so didn't want to choose something too crazy either, you know? Not that I should care what people think, but of course I do. I love that you think Indigo Mae has a 'vintage' feel to it!

Thanks again

Just updating to say that as soon as we saw our little girl we knew she was Indigo Mae

She's perfect and beautiful and we're madly in love. Thanks for your help with choosing a name!

 

[Eleanor ace]

Congratulations on having your little girl! Indigo Mae is a beautiful name . Hope you're both doing well

 

[Cheska]

Many congrats. Lovely news and lovely name.

Hope I feel the same about a name when I see my little man.

 

[redlemonade]

Thanks girls!

Cheska - you'll just know your little guys name when he arrives. No doubt
