Scarlett or Skye...or both?

Dd3 due in April. Do you prefer Scarlett or Skye? Wondering if we could have both - Scarlett, but nickname Skye...that would be great!
Her middle name is likely to be Eleanor and she has sisters called Rosie and Poppy.
Think I'm starting to go name search blind 🤪 Thanks

Skye but just Sky no e.

And not Scarlett its too much with the other names.

I really like Skye, it’s a happy name. I think Scarlett might be a bit too much red in combination with Rosie and Poppy.

Kite22 · 02/01/2022 22:20

Not my taste either, but I think if you want to call her Skye, then do so - it isn't a nickname for Scarlett, it is a different name.

Scarlett is lovely.

SummerLew · 02/01/2022 22:13

I prefer Skye, but neither go with your DDs names. How about Ruby?

Rainbowqueeen · 02/01/2022 22:09

I prefer Skye

Twinkleylight · 02/01/2022 22:07

Eleanor goes better with the sibling names than Skye or Scarlett which aren't my cup of tea. You could switch it to Eleanor Scarlett or Skye. Eleanor is much classier than the two choices.

Much prefer Skye - Scarlett has quite a harsh sound imo (plus Rosie, Poppy and Scarlett are quite a theme - if you have a boy next it'll have to be Rowan or Rufus!)

Hibye23289 · 02/01/2022 20:50

I like both! I would consider having Skye if I had another baby but I am not so. Skye is lovely

I like Scarlett and think you could get away with Skye as a nickname

Luredbyapomegranate · 02/01/2022 20:47

I think they’ve both had their day, but Scarlett at a push.

user1493494961 · 02/01/2022 20:42

Neither, but Scarlett at a push. There are far nicer names to go with Rosie and Poppy.

Mrsjayy · 02/01/2022 20:37

Skye isn't a scarlett nickname 😕 go with Scarlett goes with your red naming theme Smile

Skeumorph · 02/01/2022 20:34

Rosie Poppy and Saskia
Rosie Poppy and Sylvie

Two other S names that I think fit better.

Skeumorph · 02/01/2022 20:33

Ooh gosh not either sorry. Rosie and Poppy are a lot nicer.

Of the two, Skye at a push.
