Hello there,

I can not decide on which name to chose out of Skye and Skylar. I also like Willow and Alana too!

like earthy names for some reason 😅

what do people prefer?

all thoughts considered and helpful 😀

many thanks!

Skylar reminds me of Breaking Bad. But Skye is nice, I'd go with that or Willow.

ButterRose · 05/05/2022 04:26

I prefer Skye
Skylar makes me think Skylark
Willow is lovely as well and what do you think of Autumn as a name?

Sev100 · 05/05/2022 07:20

Thank you 😊

Skylar

I like Skye definitely. It’s lovely. Also like Willow.

LongestBedtimeStoryEver · 05/05/2022 07:24

Both are lovely - I think Skylar has the edge for me, but which flows best with your surname?

Skye or willow , both are lovely

DinoRock · 05/05/2022 08:04

Skye is nice. I think Skylar is going to depend a lot on the accent of the area in which you live as I hate it in my accent.

zafferana · 05/05/2022 08:06

Skylar = Breaking Bad

So it would be Skye for me.

SpaceJamtart · 05/05/2022 08:07

I really like Skye

Shinyandnew1 · 05/05/2022 08:10

In my primary school currently (mainly in Reception/Year 1) we have three girls called Sky, one called Skye, two called Skyla and two called Skylar. It gets very confusing and really puts me off those names!

missv556 · 05/05/2022 08:25

Both are good but I prefer Skye. As others have said, Skylar reminds me of Breaking Bad

KirstenBlest · 05/05/2022 11:36

Skye is ok, Skylar is awful

Sev100 · 05/05/2022 11:56

Thanks all 🥰

Skye is lovely.

Allegra82 · 05/05/2022 12:06

I have a Skye- it’s definitely my favorite name

RuthW · 05/05/2022 12:15

I love Willow best. I don't like the R on Skylar so would have Skyla.

IwaswhoIam · 05/05/2022 12:23

I was also torn between those two names but we decided on Skye . However we had a boy so it never got used . Both are beautiful names but Skye is extra special to me .

babymummax · 05/05/2022 12:27

What about Willow Skye, Skye either being hyphenated or just a middle name

KirstenBlest · 05/05/2022 12:38

Willow-Skye is a straight no from me. Too naturey and hyphenated names ruin both names

Echobelly · 05/05/2022 12:40

I think Skye is a bit more classic, so I'd go for that. Skylar is a bit 'of the moment'.

ABrightSilverLining · 05/05/2022 13:15

I love all of those names. My favourite is Skye.
