Violet Skies?

[Groomfield]

Is it a bad name?

Would you want to be called that?

I wouldn't mind being called that.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Swimming against the tide here OP but I like it! Very cool.

It reminds me of the Mika song too:

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be ...

I love it.

Really its quite magnificent.

Poppy Skies
Penny Skies
Lola Skies
Milly Skies

I think it's ok. Skies is a lovely surname.

How about Vivien/Vivienne Skies? Agree it's a beautiful surname.

I don't like the name Violet anyway and don't understand why it's so popular at the moment. And names like Ivy, they're awful.

Lots of nice suggestions from pps.

It doesn't work, sorry, OP.

How about Viola or Violetta?

I like it.

There's also viola and Celeste

Violet is great actually. Don't worry about the surname.

Sorry i don't like it but it not my child ! Some great suggestions on here though.

I think you can have Violet or Skye with different additional names:

Violet Jane
Violet Susannah
Violet Eliza
Jennifer Skye
Isabella Skye
Marianne Skye

Molly Skies is her surname??

Oh...sorry, need to keep up

Vivienne Skies is beautiful whoever suggested that- Would that work OP?

There are some dreadful names out there. Whilst I don't think Violet is the best name to go with Skies, I've heard far, far worse.
Don't be down hearted OP, we've given our honest opinions, it's up to you to make your choice. How about Willow ?

I think with a surname like Skies, noun or adjective names should be avoided!

I've come back to this thread that I've been overthinking about the name Violet Skies and now think it's is a brilliant and lovely name. Its really nice.

I also like nature/colour themed names and I think it sounds lovely. OP, you've got a great surname so go for names that you think will suit your DD best

Besides, if some people can name their babies Autumn Rose or Ivy Rose, then there's nothing wrong with Autumn Skies or Violet Skies.

OP, I too have given this name some thought, and I think it's rather lovely too. Whatever name you do choose, someone, somewhere, will dislike it, or critisise it. Go with your choice, if it's the name you love.

How about Rowan?
Rowan Violet Skies.

It sounds like a paint colour or a bathroom tile. I would really dislike a jokey or themed name, even if just first name-middle name, but especially if first name-surname as that is inescapable. I agree with the others, if one part of the name is also a noun/adjective/verb/adverb/other form of real word, then it is hugely better to give a name that is exclusively a name. Certain personality types might happily pull off such a name but others would be made miserable by it and you don't know yet which your child is. In an ideal world, nobody would ever mock, ridicule or bully over a name but the real world is different.

Best of luck with the search. Can you check out versions of your colour/nature names in other languages to see if there are any you like?

I like it - it sounds like a little fairy in a book to me!
