HI,

What does everyone think of these two names for a boy?

Skyler
Blaize

Also, does anyone like the name Soleil for a girl?

Thank you : ))

ok, so it would help if I could spell. As I expect you realise, I meant Skyler!!!

All bad imho, sorry.

I actually really like Skyler and I am not ususally one for 'out there' names.

Blaize is awful though.. It's a horses name. It makes em feel like singing RAWHIDE!

rollin rollin rollin..

Hmm I quite liked Blaise (prefer the pselling with an S rather than a Z) when I was pregnant, unfortunately I had already named my dog it so that made it kind of off limits!

Have you been drinking SGM ?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 16/07/2010 21:17

Kind of ironic that I have typoed "spelling"

ArseHolio · 16/07/2010 21:17

It didnt post my !

That wasn't an accusation SGM

MisSalLaneous · 16/07/2010 21:18

Neither of those really my thing, sorry. It sounds like you're trying too hard. (Please feel free to ignore, my son has a "weird" name for England, although it is a family name for us.)

I know a Blaise

mum is a bit boho but lovely

Littlefish · 16/07/2010 21:22

Sorry, but I really don't like any of them. I agree with MisSalLaneous that it sounds like you're trying to hard to be different.

My ds is Skyler.
Lots of people go but we like it. We call him Sky.

ArseHolio · 16/07/2010 21:32

I really like Soleil.

CricketThicket · 16/07/2010 21:33

too sleb stylee for my liking I'm afrayed

TarheelMama · 16/07/2010 21:35

I've only ever met girls called Skyler, so I'm afraid. I like Soleil though.

arizonagirl · 16/07/2010 21:51

Ho hum, hubby has just pointed out that soleil sounds like 'silly'. Shame, really like that name : (

Remember, a name is for life, not just for Christmas pregnancy fuelled hormones.

ArseHolio · 16/07/2010 21:57

It doesn't sound like silly.

You say it so-lay. It's french for sun.

nelly83 · 16/07/2010 21:59

I know a girl called Skyla which I think is lovely for a girl so I don't really get it as a boys name sorry. Blaize and soleil not my style either. If u like them tho that's all that matters

ShadeofViolet · 16/07/2010 22:01

I know a Blaize - he is three and wears a large gold chain and cross

kalo12 · 16/07/2010 22:02

honestly i think they sound a bit chav.

soleil could be so mispronounced - sully? sally? solaay - you mean like solarium?

sorry (runs and hides)

QueeferSutherland · 16/07/2010 22:05

I like Soleil.
Are you pronouncing it So-layl?

doughnutty · 16/07/2010 22:15

I heart Skylar but would have used for a girl if it hadn't been vetoed by DH. We had a boy so we sidestepped that landmine!

Don't like Blaize.

Jazmyn · 17/07/2010 11:33

personally I think "out there" names are great, your baby is an individual so why have a name that everyone thinks is nice and normal?! go for it! Skyler is a great name!
