Congrats to them. Not a fan of the name though.

Slighty off topic, but I wonder when Gwen Stefani will finally have hers. We haven’t seen her out and about for 2 weeks. Is she on bedrest?

The name is growing on me, and I love the name Indi for a nickname. Doesn’t another celebrity have a baby named Indigo?

I like the nickname Indy but Indigo not so much. I’m surprised people are so positive about it while they object to naming children after fruit. Indigo is a colour, it’s like naming your child Red, Green or Yellow!

Isn’t Robert Downey Jr’s son named Indigo? I think it’s a beautiful name for a boy or girl!

Robert’s son is Indio, not Indigo. Lou Diamond Philipps has a baby named Indigo though!
