Will I constantly get paw patrol comments with Skye ?

I live in the UK, I have never seen Paw Patrol and love the name Skye . It’s my top pick for a girl name and my husband is completely sold on it ( and he normally goes for more traditional names so that says a lot ).

I’m Canadian and although I doubt I’ll move back to Canada anytime soon ( maybe in 10-20 years ), I wasn’t sure how ‘out there’ Skye is in Canada . I like to keep my name picks to myself as my family is very judgemental, so I posted in a Canadian mum forum asking if Skye was too out there for Canada.

I got a lot of paw patrol comments . Apparently one of the main characters is called Skye .

Is that what you think of when you think of Skye ? 😳

I'd think of the island first before Paw Patrol, but then I'm Scottish. (Though I prefer neighbouring Iona as a name)

I do know a lovely toddler called Skye so a lot of positive connections for me.

On hearing the name I wouldn't make the connection to Paw Patrol even though DDs watch it!

I'm sure lots of kids would think of Paw Patrol and consider the connection to be a positive!

I wouldn't think of it right away. It's enough of a name in its own right. Marshall or Chase are more unusual and would make me think of Paw Patrol immediately.

I wouldn’t think Paw Patrol and we have a lot of PP love in this house.
