Scarlett or Skye...or both?

[GirlyGalore]

Dd3 due in April. Do you prefer Scarlett or Skye? Wondering if we could have both - Scarlett, but nickname Skye...that would be great!
Her middle name is likely to be Eleanor and she has sisters called Rosie and Poppy.
Think I'm starting to go name search blind 🤪 Thanks

Ooh gosh not either sorry. Rosie and Poppy are a lot nicer.

Of the two, Skye at a push.

Rosie Poppy and Saskia
Rosie Poppy and Sylvie

Two other S names that I think fit better.

Skye isn't a scarlett nickname 😕 go with Scarlett goes with your red naming theme

Neither, but Scarlett at a push. There are far nicer names to go with Rosie and Poppy.

I think they’ve both had their day, but Scarlett at a push.

I like Scarlett and think you could get away with Skye as a nickname

I like both! I would consider having Skye if I had another baby but I am not so. Skye is lovely

Much prefer Skye - Scarlett has quite a harsh sound imo (plus Rosie, Poppy and Scarlett are quite a theme - if you have a boy next it'll have to be Rowan or Rufus!)

Eleanor goes better with the sibling names than Skye or Scarlett which aren't my cup of tea. You could switch it to Eleanor Scarlett or Skye. Eleanor is much classier than the two choices.

I prefer Skye

I prefer Skye, but neither go with your DDs names. How about Ruby?

Scarlett is lovely.

Not my taste either, but I think if you want to call her Skye, then do so - it isn't a nickname for Scarlett, it is a different name.

I really like Skye, it’s a happy name. I think Scarlett might be a bit too much red in combination with Rosie and Poppy.

Skye but just Sky no e.

And not Scarlett its too much with the other names.

If my DS was a DD he would have been called Scarlett. I think it’s a beautiful strong name. And I think Skye is a perfect nickname too. Nicknames can be anything you want! You can definitely have both and I think it’s a name that suits your other DD’s.

I’d not do both. Scarlett/Skye… red sky at night shepherds delight/red sky in the morning shepherds warning.
Even if not joined together it still makes me think of that!

I think Scarlette- Skye is quite pretty. But of the 2 I'd go for Skye, I think Eleanor-Skye sounds nice.

Just Skye
Not Scarlett
Not together and not one a nickname for the other!

Not keen on either. Skye is more of a dog's name around here, and Scarlett is a bit harsh and feels like it might date - there are lots in my daughter's year group (year 8).
Eleanor Skye is nice. Or if you want to keep to a colour/ flower type theme, what about Violet, Saffron (Saffy), Amber? Or Cherry? (Maybe a bit too red!)

I don't like either with Poppy and Rosie - Scarlett makes your trio too 'red'.

Skye - just sounds weird to me, with Poppy and Rosie. I get 'blue' images with Skye and 'red' with the other two...I don't know...just doesn't go well 🤷‍♀️

I think that's the problem, once you start going down a 'themed' name route like you've done with flowery names, it's difficult to add another name. You either have to stick with the theme (eg Violet, Daisy) or go WAY off piste (eg Katharine, Hettie).

Scarlett is a bit themey with Rosie and Poppy as they’re all red but that can be a good thing depends what you like. Skye fits well too. I prefer Skye by Miles personally although know lots will disagree. I think Skye is ok as a nickname but it would need to be used almost exclusively from the start.

I have a Scarlett so have to go with that

Rosie and poppy are quite soft sounding words, Scarlett is much spikier so I wouldn't put them together. Skye, being only one syllable, fits better on the end of the list ( as in letter / card sign-offs normally start with oldest child's name down to the youngest) but there are softer sounding, single syllable names that would end that list nicely ( May, for instance or Faye, something like that).
I went two syllable, two syllable and then the last is three syllables. That also works quite well.
Eleanor has been done to death in these parts ( Shame because I always loved it but there's at least one in every class between tear 10 and year 6 around here, much like Olivia and, slightly less so, Grace.).

I think the red theme is all a bit too much and cheapens otherwise nice names so therefore keep away from Scarlett (which without Poppy and Rosie siblings would be my choice).
I'd go Skye.
