In the local paper birth notices was a little boy named Blue. WDYT?

I'd assume he was a red head.

wow, people must really hate their kids, a frind of mine just names her son Iggy Dash...

He'll cope.

My friend teaches a 'Lone Wolf' !

It would be 100x better as a middle name.
But their choice.

I quite like it.

I know a girl named Blu

I seen Xara, Journey-Rose, Cydney (im presuming Sydney), Crayg (Craig) and Emaleigh the other day

My friend was just tagged in a pic on facebook - big banner in the background: happy birthday Payshince

I saw in the paper a Wynter Rain (and we have been having the most beautiful sunny Autumn days!)
Blue is OK, better than Payshince, but better as a middle name

Payshince????

I like Blue. I know a Bleu... Same pronunciation.

My friend named her boy Jack and her girl Dee. Their last name is Frost. She has a wicked sense of humor but I think playing the joke on your kids is taking it too far...

To me - parents that inflict these names on their kids are somewhat cruel. For the rest of their life - they have to spell it. Also - it really screams "MY PARENTS ARE ILLITERATE"

Hmm... Do you live in the Hills District? If so, baby "Blue" is my friend's son.

FWIW his middle name is "Frankie", and rest-assured... his parents are very highly educated and far from illiterate or cruel, etc.

That's really mean!

Blue is not terrible, I've seen much worse.



Ignatius Dashiell maybe?

I saw


I have a few shockers that I know.


Ceanna (Sienna), Ciasha (Kaisha). Sian is said Sharn, but I suspect it's Irish (haven't checked).

Someone I know of is planning on calling her son Apollo!! :barf:

Sian is the correct spelling and pronunciation of that name!

I thought it would be. Like Siobhan

I DS was watching Hoot and jimmy giggle this morning. It was the art segment where kids post in pictures they've drawn.
They showed a picture from a girl - name was:
Tiara.

oh dear.

Aw, you beat me to it.

You can have the next one nodnol

I once watched this English show - Mute by choice about children who refuse to speak and there was a little girl name "Red".

When I was at uni there was another student there with a little girl named Blue. He last name was Meadows. She'd be about 15 now I think.



Seriously, and I hate to admit this but DS1 almost named Tiara . I was 16 at the time and thought it was so pretty! But we were all into names like 'Krystal' and 'Taysharna' back then LMAO! I didn't actually know what a tiara was!

Thank God he was a boy!!

I worked with a girl who went by Tiarra. Her name was Eden Tiarra, but Eden was also her mother.


I just realised that I like I spelt something wrong in my earlier post.


Ceanna is said Shanna, and Cianna is Sienna. I get very confused

no im not, so there must be 2 of them.

Im trying to decide what I think, its not dreadful & i have seen much worse, but im not sure if I love it either. Not a name I would choose, but my kids have very traditional names which im sure a lot of people would just think are boring

i really like iggy
i also really like ziggy

I like the name Blue for either gender. Particularly like it as a MN, probably more commonly used as such.

Cher's son is Elijah Blue.

I guess I have heard worse, but seriously, thats terrible. I overheard 2 ladies talking on the train one day adn they had a friend who'd just had a baby and named him "Jet Black"

That's strange... you're in Baulkham Hills (North West), no?? That's the "Hills District", so I'm pretty sure it's the same "Blue"...

Anyway, TBH I'm not a huge fan of it as a first name but much rather it over any stock standard, run-of-the-mill, insanely popular or over-used type names.

Blue isn't too bad I guess

One local here is Phoenix (not too bad) Rampage . Now if the little boy turns out to be a handful I guess he will be living up to his middle name

I read somewhere recently about a girl named Becqui - I assume it's meant to be pronounced Becky.

As a nurse I have seen some doozies - Uranus, dragonblade, Peace Angel, Pencil ...you get the idea.

I once met a very shy 4 year old called Rebel. I doubt he will live up to his name. He would be about 14 now

I didn't mind it until now. If Chers likes it . . .

My BIL's friend just gave their DS a MN of Danger. The first name is not much better, but dont want to post it as it would be too easy to recognise if someone on here knew them. I feel for the child.

I thing it would make a great middle name but not something I would use as a first name. It is a lot better than some of the other names I have seen

I just reembered an old workmate of mine had a daughter and her mn was blu - i think her first name is Ella, she would be around 8 now.

As for the mn Danger - i think Matt Rogers has son with this MN - I thnk his first name is Max and i remember reading in the paper maybe a year ago about some couple who had twin boys and they gave both of them the middle name danger just so they could say... danger is my middle name

LOL, I used too live there, but moved about 7 months ago!

I love the name Iggy and Ziggy and I also like Blue. They are modern names. Not everything has to be so traditional anymore.

I dont mind it. Its certainly not terrible. Plus I like 4 letter names. My kids have rather traditional names in the Irish vain all with 4 letters.

A lady at work named her boy Steal. At first I thought what the hell but its definitely grown on me and it seems to suit him.

I like "Blue' for a name. It's calm and peaceful.

Steel?

It's Welsh actually

When I see some of the names that people call their kids, I really wish we had a system like the Danes where the government has the right of veto over names. I recollect one Irish family living in Denmark who had to get special dispensation because they wanted to call their daughter an Irish name (Aoife, Irish for Eve and pronounced ee-fa, or Sinead) and it obviously wasn't on the list. They were allowed to because the name was a common and established Irish name.

My belief about names is that you let kids develop their own personality rather than having it foisted upon them because you wanted them to be uneek.

Oh, really? So you're nowhere near that general area anymore? Ok, I was positive that I only just read a recent "storm warning" thread of yours saying you lived in North West, Sydney?

No big deal, I'm just 99% sure it's the same "Blue"...

.

Isn't Geri Halliwell's DD called Bluebell? (slight variation I know)

I'm assuming her surname is her father's though, lol.

Nope. Iggy dash

Nope, she's Bluebell Halliwell....

I know a girl with the name 'amphibiana'. different,but I like different names..

At least it's spelt correctly.
