Skyter or Blaize? Too out there?

[arizonagirl]

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 : ))

Hate them both sorry sound luke celeb chav names to me.

Skyler sounds like it might be some kind of air balloon.

I love Soleil and Blaise (spelled with an S not a Z). Skyler I dislike intensely. UnholeyMoley, LOL, I feel the same (mylar inthe sky..)

Blaise is a rally old name -- St. Blaise is a patron saint of throats and some churches hold a St. Blaise's Day blessing of throats. He was an Armenian bishop back in the 4th century or thereabouts.

I like Blaise for a girl actually. I mean, I wouldn't pick it myself, but it's nice in a modern unisex ish kind of way.

Skyter is just ridiculous though, I don't know what to make of that, so I hope I don't read back the thread and see that somebody has posted that their 2 year old skyter is the cutest thing and everybody compliments them on the name.

Soleil is...... not terrible but not really good either. I like Soledad, a Spanish name. It means solitude though so you mightn't like the meaning. You don't really pronounce the 2nd D like you would in English. So it's not SoledaD it's more like SoleDah

modern!? I said modern and now I learn it's a saints name! Oh well I like it more now I think because it sounds like a modern non-crusty choice but it's a proper name. I like Bruno for the same reason.

Oh, I see it is actually Skyler, not skyter. That is less bad definitely. I think I have seen the name Schuyler used before, but it is very Dutch. Are you Dutch!? Will people ask you if you are Dutch I wonder?

Soleil - no, think of suncream.

Sykla for a girl - love.

Blaise - okay as a boys name, if it is an s rather than z. With the z it makes me think of a fire.

I know a Skyler - but can't say I like it anymore than I like Blaize. Sorry.

Blaise is a catholic saint
I know one. Hated name as a child but has grown into now.

@ Valium: My partner is Dutch and has never heard of the name "Schuyler" and neither have I (we both live in holland), despite wiki saying it's of Dutch origin, it's not commonly used here so I doubt you'd get much comment about it.

Oh well that is typical! Americans on a baby name board told me it was Dutch.

Isn't Soleil the name of the actress who played Punky Brewster?

Nothing against "out there" names but I just don't like those, sorry.

I would be put off Skyler simply because so many people replying to this thread have found it hard to type the letters in the correct order... the child will have years of having her name spelled incorrectly.

Blaise (with an S) is nice. Reminds me of Blaise Castle in Bristol where we spent lots of time as children.

I have a friend with Skyler - its lovely

Both sound a bit 'Dynasty' tbh

all awful

No, I like unusual names but No.

Skyler sounds like some bratty American teen.

Blaize sounds like a porno name, "Hey, I'm Blaize Johnson and this is my wang"

And Soliel or whatever the heckers sounds like a suntan lotion.

Shocking, all of them.

I know a Blaize, she is a girl though.

I'm a bit unsure, i was all for out there, weird named then once dd was born it suddenly hit me i was naming an actual person iyswim.

Skyler is quite nice, Sky would be a nice shortened version.

I like Blaise with an S.
I looooove Soleil.

Skyler seems better for a girl. It's pretty in a weird modern way. There is also Sylar for a boy.

Or Silo? It would go with the 'names ending in O' trend
