How is the name Skype perceived in the UK?

[lill72]

We are thinking of this name for baby if it' a girl (due in just over a week) , but I am not sure what people think of it in the UK. I am oringinally from Australia, where it is thought of quite well and would be a good choice, possibly thought of as slightly hippy as it seemed popular in the 70s.

What are your perceptions, the connotations of it here?

I know too funny hey!!!

Thanks for your thoughts on Skye/Sykpe!!

Was also thinking of the name Solette - it is French I think.Thoughts?

Soleil and Colette are names, but not Solette afaik.

And it is only one vowel away from isolette,

I think it's Italian for insoles.

Ha ha my first thought was wow what a modern choice!!

I love the name Skye but I have a family history and a huge emotional attachment to the island.
