Anyone got a DS called Sky (not short for Skyler)

I love the name Sky and have seen it used as a boy's nickname for Skyler. However I don't really like Skyler. Can you use Sky as a stand alone name for a boy?

There is a Sky Masterson who is the main male lead of the 1950s musical Guys and Dolls.

The only Skys (Skies?) I know are both girls.

I know a boy Sky - he is about 8.

I know of 3 children named Sky/ Skye. All 3 are girls.

I know a female Skye too.

But I think it sounds quite masculine actually, especially spelt Sky, so I don't see why it couldn't work for a boy.

I'm 36 and there was a boy a couple of years above me at the boy's school near to my school called Skye. So, it can be a boy's name but maybe it was more likely to be used as a boy's name a while ago...

I like it though!

Sky at dc's school. He's 10. Have to say I think of it as a girl's name.

I think it needs the 'e' Sky just makes me think TV...

Not if you don't want lots of "witty" comments about satellite dishes and Plus Ones.

Our neighbors youngest boy is Sky. Big brother is Sage and bigger sister is Autumn. So they are into nature names (like me). I like it, only issue I have is not knowing if it is Sky or Skye (finally figured it out last month). Bear in mind we are in the US where names can be wacky different.

I knew a Sky. He was South African.

I know a grown up male Skye. I think of the island not the sky above.

Similar to Lewis or Harris.

I knew a Sky (or Skye?). He was a Dalmatian. :)

slalomsuki · 25/04/2012 12:04

There's a sky in ds's class and he is a boy.

No problem with the name and I always thought the girls version was spelt with the 'e'

Galena · 25/04/2012 14:21

I have a girl Skye.
