Is it a bad name?

I don't like the name Violet anyway and don't understand why it's so popular at the moment. And names like Ivy, they're awful.

Lots of nice suggestions from pps.

How about Vivien/Vivienne Skies? Agree it's a beautiful surname.

ReapAndSow · 12/02/2017 02:22

I think it's ok. Skies is a lovely surname.

Poppy Skies
Penny Skies
Lola Skies
Milly Skies

Really its quite magnificent.

It reminds me of the Mika song too:

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be ...

I wouldn't mind being called that.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Would you want to be called that?

Chocolatecake12 · 11/02/2017 22:44

How about Willow

Jooni · 11/02/2017 22:08

Sorry, but it doesn't work. Reminds me of that Mika song...

BreatheDeep · 11/02/2017 21:49

I thought it said Violent Skies to begin with....

TinselAngel · 11/02/2017 21:47

Sounds like cheap paint range.

ILoveMyMonkey · 11/02/2017 21:44

Agree with Fenella, my first thought was porn star.

KlingybunFistelvase · 11/02/2017 21:43

I definitely would avoid colours as colours are adjectives so it will end up sounding like a description. Nature names (other than Aurora) could be fine though, I'd have thought?

Fern Skies
Clover Skies
Wren Skies
Robyn Skies
Lily Skies
Poppy Skies
Daisy Skies

These are random examples but all sound fine to me, unless I'm missing something (which is always v possible with me)!

It's a shame, all the names we like are nature/colour themed.

GinIsIn · 11/02/2017 21:35

With a surname like Skies I think all nouns and adjectives are out as first names - sorry!

ineedamoreadultieradult · 11/02/2017 21:34

Oh sorry OP. I think you would need a name that's not also a "thing' with a surname like Skies. Things like Ruby and Autumn etc don't really work.

Creatureofthenight · 11/02/2017 21:33

If your surname is Skies I think you're better off avoiding any colour first names.

reuset · 11/02/2017 21:32

There is something sci fi about it, agreeing with whoever said that. It's not the worst combination I've heard.

JennyOnAPlate · 11/02/2017 21:26

It's bad sorry op.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 11/02/2017 21:25

Do you have anymore names OP ?

LaPharisienne · 11/02/2017 21:09
