Is the name Skyla (and yes it can be spelt this way) really that bad??
I have had so many mixed reactions to this name for a girl, mainly negative, but i really like it and don't seem to like any other name.
I really like the unusual girl's names, and i called my first Summer and it really suits her.

Skyla is very close to my dogs name. although that makes no odds to you!

My Grandad was called Skylor. Always thought of it as a boys name.

And I wouldn't name them Summer and Sky... but Summer and Skyla works much better Smile.

I actually think that Summer and Skyla sound nice together. I wouldn't choose either, but think they go well and there isn't anything wrong with them.

Gillian mckeiths oldest child is called Skyla. Which I realise is totally irrelevant, but that's what springs to mind.

Consider what someone deciding who to interview for a job might think?

Summer is lovely, so is Skye, but I think Skyla is horrible and, personally I would avoid it.

Sorry to be harsh, but you did ask...

Just reminds me of Gavin and Stacey and putting la on the end of everything but maybe you have friends that don't watch trashy TV?
I prefer Skye but that is a whole different name which is really that helpful-sorry!

There's nothing wrong with it.
If you like it, use it.
People will always say something negative before you actually give it to a child. Afterwards, they will just accept.
It will go with Summer very well.
