Blue Ivy?

[nuthinbutpink]

So, after 9 months, Blue is what they come up with for their baby girl? Don't get me wrong, I'm a mom of 3 DDs that never used pink and did use blue in 2/3 girls' nurseries so I get it but BLUE?

A little GD perhaps? All I can think of is the movie Old School and him yelling 'You're my boy, Blue!' to the old wrinkly guy.

Blue Ivy Carter

I guess she will go by Blue Ivy and not just Blue? Or maybe she'll get a totally different nickname that she'll be known by like her daddy and never be called Blue!

[Cinss]

Celebs are always naming their kids weird names. I guess they like to be original.

[TTC5]

Gross.

[girlmom]

isn't blue a cartoon dog??? maybe they can name their next baby magenta?

[Out of the Blue]

Blue Ivy...because Green Ivy is soooooo 2011. :p

[nuthinbutpink]

isn't blue a cartoon dog??? maybe they can name their next baby magenta?

LOL. Green!

[Cinss]

Blue is a very common dog name, usually red healers. and the bear from The Jungle Book is called Blu.

[DoulaMama]

LOL! You guys are terrible!! I actually don't mind it too much! I love short and sweet names and this is WAYYYYYY better than Apple :)

[OnlyPraying]

apparently theres a method to this madness :Beyonce Baby Name : People.com (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20559810,00.html)

[girlmom]

sorry i love unique names but i keep thinking about blues clues and mr salt and mrs pepper and baby paprika. i kinda miss blues clues

[lobella2]

Maybe they will call her by her middle name, Ivy. I have heard of some people doing that. We can only hope.

[girlmom]

ivy isn't so bad but they got ivy from IV. the both have roman numeral for 4 tattooed on their arms.. ( where else would you put an iv hehe) 4 is their birthdays and anniversay so yes ivy is better then blue four.

[DoulaMama]

I think that colour names are awesome, TBH. My son's name is Grayson but we call him Gray.
There's lots of other colour names too-

Amethyst
Auburn
Azure
Burgundy
Coral
Crimson
Ebony
Emerald
Fawn
Indigo
Kelly
Lavender
Lilac
Scarlett
Sienna
Silver
Teal
Xanthe (Pronounced: Zan-thee. Meaning: yellow)

Maybe Blue will be the next one to make it big? You never know!

[nuthinbutpink]

I love Gray! I know a couple of Gray's that are family names! Blue just sounds like you are trying so hard to be different. Just like Apple. Same cut.

[Princess of Pink]

May have significance to them, but blue?? Ivy Blue would of been better.

[DoulaMama]

I hear you NBP ;) It's way better than Audio Science, Jermajesty, Moon Unit and Tu Morrow, though...:rofl:

[atomic sagebrush]

Better than Poison!

[Myloves]

Def better than Poison atomic! What kind of parent names their kid poison?

[Cinss]

Poison Ivy lol

[begonia]

I read the article about the name and also saw he wrote her a song, did anyone else see that? It's sweet, although when I found out where I was conceived I was TOTALLY not wanting that information, but hey, maybe baby Blue will dig knowing. Anyhow clearly a proud daddy. Can't be too hard on the guy :) Made me think about when our 2nd was born; we were so ... terrified and unprepared with #1 that the magic of having a child was lost on us. But #2, we totally "got it" and her birth day was amazing.

And I've definitely heard worse as far as names go, LOL.

[hocuspocus]

it certainly isnt a name i would choose for my girl but each to their own and all that :suprise:

[zanacal]

Another celeb used Blue a few years ago didn't they? I can't remember who! I would have preferred Ivy Blue.

[auroara78]

That is definitely a strange name, naming a girl Blue.....

I think blue would be OK for a middle name, a Vera Bradley pattern is called "ellie blue" and I think that'd be total cute girls' name...but not Blue as a first

I think Alicia Silverstone named her son Bleu Bear?

[LolaInLove]

I hear you NBP ;) It's way better than Audio Science, Jermajesty, Moon Unit and Tu Morrow, though...:rofl:

LOL! WAY better! I like funky names too, but lots of celeb picks are too much for me. Seems like that name has significance, which is cool. I do think of Old School, too, NBP! We have a beta fish named Blue that we hollar that quote at all the time.

[auroara78]

Isn't the blue bird in the movie "rio" named "Blue" as well? hehe

[XXdreaming]

thats what I was thinking was about Rio lol, I wouldnt name a little girl blue, I wouldnt even name a girl animal blue (and for the longest I thought blue in blues clues was a boy lol) but my reason is blue sounds sad, "are you blue today" and you name hound dogs blue becuase their droopy sad looking lol (or its a blue tick hound dog lol) i have no problem with ivy, I wouldnt name my little girl ivy but see nothing wrong with it

and did someone really name their child poison?

You're my boy, blue! GREAT name for a fish!

I think the Travolta's have Ella Blue? She's maybe pre-teen or so...

[fresas]

I actually like the name. Ivy is old fashioned and if it is after the number 4, I like the number 4 and it is significant to them maybe. I like Blue, too, even for a girl. Blue has so many different meanings, many of them peaceful and related to water. I think it is kind of a fanciful name!

[Wanting a daughter]

Blue is a very common dog name, usually red healers. and the bear from The Jungle Book is called Blu.

The Jungle Book bear is Baloo. :rofl:

We also call anyone with Red Hair- Blue or Bluey here in Oz. It works for us...

[ELP]

Did she actually have the baby in the end? Wasn't there a lot of speculation about prosthetic bumps and surrogotes??

There was an old 60's song about a baby called Blue wasn't there?? A lady sang it? Joan Armatrading possibly?

[ELP]

We also call anyone with Red Hair- Blue or Bluey here in Oz. It works for us...I never knew this! I might start using that over here for fun lol!

[xnicolax]

I quite like it. Reminds me of gone with the wind, Bonnie Blue Butler. I have heard boys being called Blue and we had a dog called Bluey but I think it sounds sweet. Far better than a lot of celeb names I have heard (Princess tops them all?). Maybe she has big blue eyes?
