Violet Skies?

[Groomfield]

Is it a bad name?

I think it's fine because Skies is your surname. I think we have our surnames chosen for us, pretty much, and so, within reason, we shouldn't have to choose first names which fit them too much; instead, we should just go - within reason - with what we like for first names. I mean, it's not like purple coloured skies are a bad thing. They're pretty, they're good. I don't think Violet Skies sounds comical or ugly, just a bit - what's the word - statementy, attention-grabbing, something like that.

If it wasn't your surname, it could be okay, but in that case it would just sound a little - obvious, blatant, statementy, attention-grabbing. Something more subtle would sound more elegant and pretty in that case. But that's just my taste.

I don't think it sounds like a pornstar, I actually think of a journalist introducing themselves!

I like it.

I think it is a quite fabulous name.

It's very fabulous.

I know a girl with the surname Sky who's first name is a colour. When I first heard it I was most confused that anyone would name their child that on purpose.... but now I kind of accept it. It's a bit weird though. I don't think I would do it personally.

Some of these comments are shocking :| I quite like it, was going to call dd3 Aurora Skye :)

I'm the first to call out a daft name, but I've heard far worse than this. I think you could use it, but I would think the parents were slightly left of field or had a sense of humour.

I realise I've already commented. It doesn't sound like a porn star name.

I think seeing as Skies is your surname and not a middle name it's actually pretty cool.
I've known in my time admittedly in dance school with pushy parents

• always thought Liv Little was quite cool maybe I need to live a little

So no, in the grand scheme of things Violet Skies isn't going to doom her.

Reminds me of Mika song but for that reason I like it!
