What do you think?

I don't like Indy by itself for a boy - too feminine - but have you considered Indigo (the colour) nn Indy? Here's some suggestions:

---

Indigo Julian
Indigo Adrian
Indigo William
Indigo Harrison
Indigo Luke

Indy is quite catchy actually!! I kinda like it!! I think you'd have to use sib names that are also a little different, not that I think these names are that different, they're all from my list!! Anyway, here goes:

I like the combo Indy Jeremiah

Brothers:
Tyler
Remy
Oscar
Ned

Indigo though not my style would have the nn Indy

There is the name Indus (prn IHN-duhss) which is a male name. It is latin for Indian. It is also a constellation. It might make a nice name that Indy would be nn for.

Indra, if you don't mind using a slightly foreign name, would nickname to Indy.

---

I think Indy as a name by itself is perfectly fine too, and is gender ambiguous rather than feminine.

---

I personally don't at all have the impression that Indiana would be a female name in particular, since the only time I've heard it actually used was for the film character - and he wasn't exactly femme. I think the film gave the name a dashing, butch image.

---

Middle names and sib names are hard to come up with without more criteria - unusual/usual, family names that need adapting, origins that mean something to you?

---

Middle names for I think would be best for just Indy would -
avoid -in sound and letters D and N
start with crisp voiced consonant - J, C, L, G, M, B, K, V
three syllable, stress on second: like Marcellus, Johannes, Lysander
one syllable, no initial vowel: like Jay, Bruce, Lee, Kyle

---

Middle names for Indiana - bit easier to do;
avoid noun names because with Indiana they're a phrase;
one syll, no init vowel - like Paul, Lee, John, Cade, Kirk
two syll, stress on first, softer init consonant is ok as well - H, S, T, Th, Sh, F, P, R, Y, W work: like Theo, Simon, Ryan, Tyler, Wyatt, Marek
3 syll, stress on first: like Theodore, Benjamin, Percival

That is so funny, because when I was playing the game below, where you had to pick a boys name for every letter in your name, I couldn't think of a name for I, the only thing I could think of was Indiana.
Although the Ana part sounds feminine, I bet everyone associates Harrison Ford with the name enough that it is masculine. I also like Indy, but it definately needs a full name.
Hmm...With Indy, I'd say anything slightly unusual or surnamey sounding:
Carys, Camden, Morgan, Mason
Or, you could do the whole state thing: Montana, Georgia, Virginia, Dakota...
I'm just joking, really.
