It belongs to the growing category of color and nature names that parents increasingly embrace for their evocative qualities and unconventional appeal.

The name carries a mystical, slightly spiritual quality that appeals to families with artistic or alternative sensibilities. It's distinctive without being difficult, memorable without being strange, and it offers the practical nickname "Indie" for everyday use. The name suits parents who value creativity, individuality, and aren't bound by traditional naming conventions.
