I hadn't heard those other possibilities. It is hard to imagine anyone turning blue from using silver utensils. After all, many many people have used silver utensils throughout the ages, without turning blue. And I just read that the so-called blue bloods, the aristocracy that was so named, didn't use silver utensils all that much anyway.
I believe it was simply a name given to, or taken by, the aristocracy at one particular time, and may have had more to do with their lack of tans, thus fair skin through which veins were more visible, than with anything else.

Some think it is argyria from the silver they used, some think it is because they are partly reptilian, some think that inbreeding caused a dna problem where their heart was hooked up backwards and some think that they stayed indoors all the time so had very very white skin where you could see the blue veins easily..
