Skip or Skipp?

[crumblebug]

Expecting a boy in Jan!

Really liking Skip, I think that spelling is preferableto Skipp, any opinions?

Older brother is Jem

As in the thing you throw scrap/refuse into?

Skip...

Yeah, I’m really sorry but I thought what RosieGuacomosie said too.

A skip is what you have outside your house to throw all your junk into

It's from the nickname of a sea captain

Would Skipper with nn Skip be better?

Ah I see, are you a maritime family?

I would say Skip was more of a nickname. Sorry I don’t think the spelling is the issue here. Would you like to be called Skip/Skipp?

Not to my taste. I'm afraid it sounds silly.

It is either a large receptacle for household rubbish or a name for a kangaroo.

Neither - poor child.

Sorry neither

Although it made me think of crisps

Tom
Jacob
Samuel
Mattie
Roddy
Nate

Are you UK OP? Cannot imagine meeting a child with that name in the UK

So like Miranda's boyfriend in Sex and the City

Yeah sorry still not keen

Neither, it’s a kangaroos name.

Please don’t

He’ll have a tough time on the playground..

...or it's what children do with a skipping rope...

Apparently the name derives from the 'Skipper' of a ship.

I'd spell it Skip, OP. But I think I'd expect quite a few comments like those above...

I think it has an American feel.

The only Skipper I reference I know was Carrie's mate in SATC. Isn't it an American name? Skip, Chip etc.

Jem is a lovely name, I don't personally think Skip works with it...

OK message received re Skip..

How about Kai or Crew?

Kai. NOT Crew!

Kai yes- especially grown on me due to that hot dancer on strictly

Definitely not Crew

Crew is even worse. Just dinna.

Crew? Why not just lean in all the way and call him Able Seaman?

;-)

Kai sounds like a nickname too to be honest.

Is there a reason you wanted something to do with the sea?

Jem is lovely. What have you got up your sleeve as nice as that?

Jem is lovely

What about;
Gabe (full name Gabriel)
Finch
Drake
Ryker
River
