    • Description:

      The Frenchified color name Bleu is notable in baby-naming history as the then-outrageous middle name of John Travolta and Kelly Preston's daughter Ella, born in 2000. Perhaps because blue is traditionally a color for boys, there are twice as many baby boys named Bleu as there are girls

      "rain falling"
    • Description:
