I really like it.

Inconnu · 02/05/2020 08:25

I like it

mamablondie2 · 02/05/2020 08:26

I love it but I have known some very naughty girls called Skye! Don’t let that put you off, just sharing my own view. It is beautiful though x

Cloude?

RickOShay · 02/05/2020 08:51

Love Skye.

TheDIsiilusionedAnarchist · 02/05/2020 08:52

Lovely but it’s a dog from paw patrol which most preschoolers will know.

daisypond · 02/05/2020 08:54

It’s fine.

Whatsyourflava · 02/05/2020 08:58

Really like it

NoSauce · 02/05/2020 09:29

It’s very dated to me.

SimpleKindofLife · 02/05/2020 09:30

Paw patrol!

What about Skylar?

NoSauce · 02/05/2020 09:31

Skylar is Breaking Bad to me.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 02/05/2020 09:33

No sorry

thenightsky · 02/05/2020 09:33

I know two border collies called Skye. They are gorgeous.

LotusClover · 02/05/2020 10:53

I love it, it's really pretty and I don't think it's dated at all.

Cbeebiesrehab · 02/05/2020 11:21

I can only think of Paw Patrol unfortunately. My daughter went through a stage of demanding I call her Skye🤦🏻‍♀️

babynamelover · 02/05/2020 11:22

I'm not a huge fan. I prefer other nature names such as Summer, Hazel and Olive 😃.

SnowdropFox · 02/05/2020 11:45

I think it goes through phases of being quite popular here in Scotland. Might just be kids I know though. At the moment Isla, Iona and Harris are the islands of choice.
I like Skye though, I've been a number of times and has some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen.

Greenandcabbagelooking · 02/05/2020 11:50

I like it, it's a pretty name. Unless your other children are called Harris, Iona or Wight, or your surname is Ireland.

I prefer Skye to Sky or Skylar.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 02/05/2020 11:50

I like it but would never use it as it’s a little chavvy

Heismyopendoor · 02/05/2020 11:51

Love it :)

Ineedanewusername · 02/05/2020 11:54

Its popular in Scotland as are other island names Lewis, Harris and iona. Its an ok name. Wouldnt personally choose it.

rootsonshow · 02/05/2020 11:55

love it

87Callista · 02/05/2020 12:52

Cool nature name, I do wonder why people attach the e to the end. Is it to try and distinguish it from the sky sky?

It makes me think of Skyler from Breaking Bad.

I can't tell you exactly why but I find it edgier and slightly punky or something (maybe something wrong with me)

Elieza · 02/05/2020 12:59

I knn Nn is a Skye and a Skylar. I keep wanting to put an R on the end of the latter name!

If you’re going to call a child after a Scottish island you may want to go there first (virtually during lockdown perhaps) and see if you like it.
