Skyla??

[sum04]

Is the name Skyla (and yes it can be spelt this way) really that bad??
I have had so many mixed reactions to this name for a girl, mainly negative, but i really like it and don't seem to like any other name.
I really like the unusual girl's names, and i called my first Summer and it really suits her.

There's nothing wrong with it.
If you like it, use it.
People will always say something negative before you actually give it to a child. Afterwards, they will just accept.
It will go with Summer very well.

Just reminds me of Gavin and Stacey and putting la on the end of everything but maybe you have friends that don't watch trashy TV?
I prefer Skye but that is a whole different name which is really that helpful-sorry!

Consider what someone deciding who to interview for a job might think?

Summer is lovely, so is Skye, but I think Skyla is horrible and, personally I would avoid it.

Sorry to be harsh, but you did ask...

Gillian mckeiths oldest child is called Skyla. Which I realise is totally irrelevant, but that's what springs to mind.

I actually think that Summer and Skyla sound nice together. I wouldn't choose either, but think they go well and there isn't anything wrong with them.

And I wouldn't name them Summer and Sky... but Summer and Skyla works much better .

My Grandad was called Skylor. Always thought of it as a boys name.

my dp loves this spelt skyler.

Skyla is very close to my dogs name. although that makes no odds to you!

if you like it go for it. bugger everyone else i say.

I think Skyla and Summer are great sister names.

Yes it really is that bad.

It looks like 'Skylark', truncated. Or like Kyla all gussied up and rendered 'unique'.

Call her what ever you like, you did with the first one!

It's your choice - I don't personally like it, but also I wouldn't personally give two of my kids the same initial. I'd rather they had names more different from one another. Kyla?

i love the name and was going to use it for a girl - i had a boy called Kayden - alot of people including my mother said they hated both names- well i dont and i dont care what other people think and it irritates them even more when i call him kayde :-) if i have another boy id call him Kayne - i like the idea of matching names and now i am having kyla ideas for a girl !!

?

Its a personal choice of course, but I didnt see which topic this was posted in and assumed it was a new TV channel (seriously). Well there's Sky Atlantic, so I thought there must now be Sky L.A.

Think that means its a 'no' from me

Sorry, I don't like it. I'd prefer Skye or Kylie.

It's the boys name in Mama Mia, but quite femine I think. Bound to be abbreviated to Skye though, and Summer & Sky does sound a bit full-of-the-joys-of-spring, but I still quite like it!

Yes it is that bad imo.

Skyla is ok. I've heard worse.

On the other hand, Skye and Summer are both beautiful and would be really lovely together - would you consider Skye?

I love the name Skyla and my DD's second name is Summer!

I like it

I think Skylar's very chavvy. Eurgh! People name their dogs Skylar. Skye's not much better TBH.

Sorry but Gavin & Stacey was the first thing that came into my head when hearing that name.

This is the 3rd post that I have seen where you ask about this name. You have seen the feedback so you need to either just choose it or actually take people's advice. Keeping asking the same thing won't change peoples opinions. I still think it's awful unless it is the name for a people carrier or a hatchback.
