Dear David,
   
  Thank you so much!

We went looking for "I" names because we wanted to name her for Joy's grandmother Ida.  The possible GLBT overtones of Indigo did occur to us, and we thought about that before making the decision.  We have Harry Potter fan friends who've named their sons Harry, and that kind of thing seems like shaping a child too much to one's own identity . . . While our daughter will be growing up within queer culture, we want her name to be her very own just as she needs her own identity distinct from us (and certainly has it, as she has made clear from day one!).  However, we loved the name, and decided that any GLBT connection was just one of many shades of its meaning, and a lovely one.
   
  See you soon!
   
  Hugs,
  Amy & Joy

  Dear Amy and Joy,

Well CONGRATULATIONS!

And welcome to the world for little "Indigo" (much better than "Mookie"   ;-)    ).   Did you choose "Indigo" partly  because it sort of means "deep lavender", sort of a GBLT meaning?  Or is that my sort of imagination sort of going wild as it sort of does when I'm sort of creative?
