Feelings on Indica

I saw the name [name_f]Indica[/name_f] a while ago and it has stuck with me! What do you guys think of this name? Is it too out there?

Pretty!..

It doesn’t seem complete to me, and reminds of of “indicative”, I prefer [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]

I agree with @sillypumpkin. “Indicate” was the first thing I thought of. Then, it sounded like a mispronunciation of [name_u]Indigo[/name_u].

[name_f]Indica[/name_f] is a strain of marijuana so I probably would avoid it.

Oh man, I had no idea. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think the association is so strong that it couldn’t be a middle name too?

@sillypumpkin and @chelsanne22, [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] is pretty, and I see how it could be confused for that…

Yes, unfortunately. If you google it, that’s all that comes up. But it could depend on where you live. It’s legal where I’m at and I think in the coming years, people will start to recognize it more and more.

Yes. [name_f]Indica[/name_f] and sativa are the two main types of cannabis. I think it’s more than a strain (not sure on terminology). I agree though, it’s pretty sounding.

I immediately thought about weed. I think people will either make the association or have no clue but those who make the association would probably have some raised eyebrows haha

Vulgar or not, I hear it as “In-dick”-a

It does have a pretty sound–but I think the marijuana connection is overpowering, unfortunately.

Possible alternatives (besides [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], which has already been mentioned):
[name_f]Vivica[/name_f]
[name_f]Anika[/name_f]

Yes, the association with marijuana is DEFINITELY very strong, lol. People will make the association for sure.

Sorry, confirming that the marijuana association is very strong in Australia too.
I have heard of a child with this name (daughter of a man who was in the newspapers - for a political thing, not for anything criminal), but the reason I heard her name was because people were using it to cast her father in a negative light.

Similar-sounding names: [name_f]Indira[/name_f], [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], [name_f]Inka[/name_f], [name_f]Anka[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f]/[name_f]Anneke[/name_f], [name_f]Ulrica[/name_f], [name_f]Idonia[/name_f], [name_f]Danica[/name_f], [name_f]Angelica[/name_f], [name_f]Delica[/name_f], [name_f]Nordica[/name_f], [name_f]Vivica[/name_f].

Sorry for the repeats.

When I found this thread, I thought you were speaking of the weed, sorry
However, there are other alternatives to choose

Hi, welcome to Nameberry :slight_smile:

This topic was created in 2017. We usually try to avoid new replies to old topics, as they automatically appear in “latest topics” list when they have new replies. If that happens, we might get a “latest” list full of old topics and the actual latest topics can get lost!

I hope this makes sense :blush:
