I was just in the shower room cleaning my contact lenses, and I noticed that the cold tap was a funny color, so I bent to examine it, and the ring around it is not a regular blue color, but is more of a pleasant indigo color. And I’m not sure what is meant by this. Is it meant to convey that the water that comes out of this tap is deeply, deeply cold? That the water has moved beyond mere regular coldness into a transcendent manner of being cold that is only improved upon by the taps that have violet rings around them? Maybe the British have classes of cold water taps, and the darker your ring-around-the-faucet is, the better your water is. Or, or the colder the cold-water-delivery-elves can guarantee that your water will be.
OR - why should we blame it on the Brits anyway? - maybe this is God’s way of telling me, Go ahead, Jenny, just go right ahead and give your baby the lovely name that you want to give it.
Yeah. That’s probably what it is. So there, naysayers! GOD agrees with me!

Y’know, if I see the color orange on a hot water tap, it’s not God’s way of telling me to name my future son orange.
We’ll that’s obviously because in your case (unlike in Jenny’s) it would be a stupid Act of God, because you haven’t considered naming your child Orange. God communicates with you on Your Level. If your tap ran orange, it would more likely mean that your next knitted creation should be orange. God answers the Questions That Matter To You.
Yeah!
But go right ahead and handicap your baby boy by naming him Indigo. He’ll still have loving grandparents who will nurture his broken spirit by calling him Joe, or Jim, or Jack. And anyway, no growth without pain.
YES! See, Mumsy agrees with me - NO INDIGO. And rest assured that he (might possibly, if you want) will have a godmother who nurtures his broken spirit (after all, what are godmothers for?) by calling him Jack as well. Damn right.
*bands together with Mumsy*
I can’t believe you trust a faucet over your family. Kinda pathetic.
Hm. You know what I think is pathetic? Well, two things really. One, the total lack of support my family is giving me; two, that you are all trying so very hard to go against God. For you to persist in your stubborn blindness in the face of such an obvious Sign from God, well, that just grieves me more than I can say.
I LIKE the name Indigo. I fully support you, Jen, even though I don’t think God is communicating with you via cold-water tap. (Sorry. I really do support the name, though.)
