Hi there.

looking at a girls name of Harper or Skye

Harper Rai
Skylar Rai (but would be known as Skye)

family hate the name Skye but I don’t!

Not worried so much if a name is popular or not etc

Im quite a bohemian person 🤪

all comments and or thoughts appreciated 😎

I think Skye, but not Skylar, and a different middle name

I like Harper.
It's a popular name here in Australia ( number 12 name here last year).
If you like a name just use it, don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

They don’t sound bohemian to me…they scream chavvy.

I love Skye, Skylar is a bit ‘breaking bad’ and Rai is a bit over cooked now I think

i would go with Skye and a different middle name

This is helpful, thank you 😊 😀

I much prefer Skye to Harper but I’m not a fan of Skylar.

Would you pronounce Rai like in rye bread, or ray of sunshine?

Ray of sunshine, but middle name is up for tender too just couldn’t think of one that flowed with Skye.

many thanks for your comment 😀
