Help[Opinions] Re: We Need to Talk About India.
in reply to a message by Manipura
When I think about Indigo, I think about Eliza Lucas, and then I think about plantations in SC, then I think about slavery, and then I think I don't want to use Indigo as a name.
That's certainly further removed than India is though. I doubt people who weren't raised in SC would know who Eliza Lucas is. Actually, most people there probably don't know.

Huh. Yeah, that seems relatively obscure/specific. I think of it as a plant name comparable to Saffron (or maybe Magnolia if I associated southern culture specifically?) but slightly more new agey because of "Indigo children" or rainbows. I feel like a lot of people wouldn't even know it's a flower or specific type of dye? That it's probably most recognized as being a color in the rainbow.
I do vaguely associate it with the ocean (like sea trade) and clothing, though.
...either way, yeah, I can't imagine anyone getting offended about it unlike a place/nationality/religious name.
