Will I constantly get paw patrol comments with Skye ?

I live in the UK, I have never seen Paw Patrol and love the name Skye . It’s my top pick for a girl name and my husband is completely sold on it ( and he normally goes for more traditional names so that says a lot ).

I’m Canadian and although I doubt I’ll move back to Canada anytime soon ( maybe in 10-20 years ), I wasn’t sure how ‘out there’ Skye is in Canada . I like to keep my name picks to myself as my family is very judgemental, so I posted in a Canadian mum forum asking if Skye was too out there for Canada.

I got a lot of paw patrol comments . Apparently one of the main characters is called Skye .

Is that what you think of when you think of Skye ? 😳

I’d think of the Scottish island. Have a google. Really beautiful and full of history.

I didn't get the connection at all. I'm sure my kids did watch Paw Patrol but Skye is a common enough name. Now if you name your child Meghan...

I think a lot of her peers will think of Paw Patrol, but that isn't the end of the world - there's nothing wrong with Skye or Paw Patrol when you're a preschooler!

I would think about Paw Patrol because I’m
in that phase of my life, yes... BUT (although not my choice of name) Skye is a real name too so it’s not like Rubble or Rocky ..
I wouldn’t say it’s unusable because of Paw Patrol at all.

I'm in Scotland and know 8 Sky/Skye's between 0 and 30.

1 of those was my dog and I have never heard a Paw Patrol association.
