I love it! A friend of mine has a daughter called Indigo, after a Kula Shaker song. It's a cute name and I think it fits both boys and girls.

I love it as a male name, and think "Indy" is a great name. It also reminds me of Inigo Montoya from "The Princess Bride."

I think it's a hipsterish boy name, nms but okay. On a girl, I think it's one of those too-affected-seeming word-names that I tend to dislike. So spunkay and artsay, so femininity-free.

I love Indigo, and I think it's better for a girl. I boy could pull it off too, but I think it's a cool girls' name. I like the NN Indy.

To me Indigo is a male name. It's one of those names I'd never use myself, but like to see it on other people's kids.

I actually like Indigo. I like the way it looks and sounds. It seems masculine to me (blue for a boy). ;-)

Lots of girls like blue and hate pink though, so it being blue wouldn't mean much to me. My cell phone's blue. Wouldn't want it to be pink. (would prefer red, green or purple, but not available in the model I chose).

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Indigo.
I love it for a boy. I think the Indigo Girls connection gets kind of lame and also it seems like it could easily be made tacky on a girl.
I like the nickname Indie / Indy.I have a character named Indigo Tully. His name used to be Indigo Sterling, then Indigo Tristan, then Indigo Padraig, (you get the point.)
I like that Indigo is cutting edge, but still not really "new" either.
It has enough hippie feel to be fun, but not too much like Sunshine or Rainbow.Honestly, I think it probably works best paired with with a more traditional name. Indigo James is kind of one of my favourites.

I like it on a boy, nn Indy. I find it too strong sounding for a girl, I much prefer India on a girl.

I don't really like the idea of naming people after countries...

Then don't. But some people do, and as long as they spell it right, I don't see the problem. I look after an adorable little India, so that may be making me biased, but I really don't see the problem. It's not everyones style, sure.

India should be left on the country and not used on humans.

Oowh, India is a nice alternative for a girl.
I never thought I'd like it, but I think I do.

I like it. I think it's pretty and sounds more girlish. On a boy, it would always make me think of Indigo Montoya on "The Princess Bride" and the image of someone whose life is about revenge doesn't appeal to me.

his name is Inigo Montoya 'you killed my father, prepare to die'
but Fezek calls him Indigo once. I love Inigo just for that movie and book. I like Indigo and think of Indigo Girls, so a girl's name for me.

I don't think I thought of Indigo rather than Inigo for the name until this site and looking at it... The way he says it could be mis-heard to sound like there's a light d in it. Still close enough to be confusing and stir up that movie image.Just for fun, someone who likes Princess Bride may have an appreciation for these large rodents:

Blue for a boy.There's a rather nice restaurant a few blocks from my house called Indigo Moon, so it really doesn't look human to me at all. But it does sound a whole lot better than Scarlett and Jade!
