Is the name Skyla really that bad??

[sum04]

I really like the name Skyla and the spelling, as i realise you can also spell it other ways, but not many people i have asked have liked then name and it's really made me confused as to whether i should just go ahead with what i like or choose a totally different name, which im finding very hard to choose as i really don't like most girl's names.
I called my other daughter Summer, which at the time 7 years ago was very unusual, but recently her name has become quite popular.
Im wondering if that might end up being the case with Skyla??
Is this name really that bad?

I like it too.

Take no notice of other people, you're the one going to be using it on a daily basis. I think it's lovely, unusual but not too 'off the wall'

To me, it is a boy's name (Skyler).

But, lots of names are unisex, and it does sound like a girls name too.

little Skyla will be about 3 years old now

Purple, did you trawl baby names until you found yours??

love it, mainly cos of minnie drivers character in good will hunting!

I like it. I'm 43 and I remember Noah and Nelly and I still like it.

I don't really like Skyla, tbh it sounds a bit trashy and made up. Also, I like names to have a meaning, and I'm not aware it does.

Amber on the other hand is a zillion times nicer, goes with Summer and is not too popular - why not go with that?

Skye is OK, although think sounds a bit cheesy with Summer.

I like it but wouldn't use it myself.

Is lovely, I think it's getting more popular now because of breaking bad.

Sorry if anyone else has mentioned that I haven't rtft.

Arya, I was going to mentioned BB, but this thread is from 2011, and predates Skylar White

Just read rtft, purple it's lovely I wish I had a name like yours in rl, mine is boring.

I don't think that you ought to choose a less common name, rather find one you feel less uncertain of then you won't care so much what people think. And once you have, don't ask anyone IRL for their opinion on it!!

Ooooooh a zombie thread, bollox. although brba came out before 2011 I think.

ooh you're right! 2008! but no one mentioned on the thread

FWIW I like the name!

Gah I've been zombie thread doomed

sorry, too many exclamation marks...

As a massive Breaking Bad fan, I personally wouldn't want to name my DC after the main characters - I think it is Skyler in that case, not Skyla. But I do think Skyla is a pretty name.

Arghhhh, who resurrects these threads????

Skyler in Heroes was a psychotic mass murderer

Oh bugger zombie thread!

It was purple, cakes, she was pissed off because people didn't like her name. Which is lovely btw if you're still reading.

But no, I couldn't use it because of Skylar in breaking bad, a friend of mine asked me my opinions on Shae for her dd they other day, it is lovely but I can't get pat the got character.

I think it's a lovely name and goes really well with Summer

For what it's worth Skyla means bitch in Greek, used both to refer to the female of the canine species and as a swear word against women (with the same connotations as bitch).... Just in case anyone is still considering it!

oh dear...

Skyler is a great name.

Skyla makes it look like the parents can't spell and it screams 'young mum'.

Skye (after the Scottish Island) is good too, as is Amber.
