About Indy
Indie — as in indie films — is the more girlish version of the name, but earthy, gender-neutral Indy is catching up slowly and steadily. Indy entered the Top 1000 for girls for the first time in 2023 after rising over 100 places. For a longer full name, vibrant Indigo remains more and more stylish each year.
Pronounced IN-dee.
As of October 2026, Indy ranked #768 in US births in 2025 SSA, Nameberry popularity #821.
