OK, so now I know i really live in Hippytown USA -those are perfectly normal names roung here. I know kids with all of them. Several Violets and Elijahs. At least two Skyes (one male, one female -both with the e on the end) but only one Indigo I recall.

Could be worse -could have been Indigo, Violet, Magenta, and Puce. or Mulberry. Or Orchid. Or Heliotrope. I think I may need to have another kid just to call it Heliotrope. How many more kids to I have to have to give them all the cool/awful names I've found on here? I'm losing track. Radar?

Or if she'd done the full rainbow, imagine being the poor kid who gets "Yellow"

Young upwardly mobile? No, I wouldn't say so. Those are the people calling their kids John Smith IV Jr. There a good deal of smug satisfaction and sharing the wealth thing here, not so much of the upwardly mobile.

The hippies are in their 50's and 60's, the yuppies are in their 30's and 40's. They don't make either of them any more.
