Opinions on Skye ?

[glesgakiss]

I love the name skye , i have 3 dds with unusualish names so feel it would fit well but is it too "chavy "

[Cloud16]

Definitely not a made up name... the Isle of Skye.

I like it. I always think it sounds quite a 'free' name :)

[Classica]

I hear Lismore and I think of the pub in Partick.

[Scottishgirl85]

I'm scottish and love it. I'm considering it as a middle name as doesn't seem substantial enough to me for a 1st name. We have a daughter called Iona and get so many compliments.

[FayCarew]

Skye isn't too bad but won't go with many surnames
Skylar is awful

[calmlakes]

I think Iona works well and lismore is possible.

Other Scottish islandy names might be Arran Jura and Vaila. I like the idea of Arran for a girl after the island but I know Aaron is normally a boys name. Jura makes quite a pretty name.

[CatsArePeople]

too many pets with that name

[bloominglovelyorange]

I quite like it.

[ButterRose]

I love it but it is getting popular so maybe as a second name if that bothers you

[miltonj]

Skye is beautiful. I've heard Skylar too.

The Isle of Skye is beautiful and the name reminds me of that. It is fashionable. Do you like it as a second name?

[PepsiArcade]

I think the people calling it chavvy are English. Island names are perfectly normal names up here

[calmlakes]

As a Scot I reckon the biggest problem is how overused it currently is.

[Lalliella]

Love it OP. Not chavvy at all imo.

[Luredbyapomegranate]

Probably going that way, definitely overused.

[Unescorted]

Skye is a beautiful name. It also has the advantage that it can't have "-ie" added to it or be shortened.

Disadvantages spelling ( sky, ski, skii) make emails difficult. Potential teasing at school Skye Blue, Sky TV....et al.

[AllyCatTown]

Maybe just me but I associate it as a pet’s name though it could work. I don’t see it as “chavy” but I dislike that label.

[Chocnuts]

@Crikeyalmighty you do realise it's not made up? It's a Scottish island.

OP I like it and don't think it's chavvy. I do like island names though, Iona, Lewis, Arran and Harris are all in my faves!

[Mumofgirls2017]

I like it!

[MarmiteCoriander]

Do you have a Scottish connection to the isle? I love it and have never heard it called chavy! Its less common without being really out there.

[feelinglowandblue]

I like it! And it’s easy to get plenty of clothing with the name on due to paw patrol!

[Crikeyalmighty]

I'm often not that keen on unusual/made up names but I actually quite like that-- I don't think it's 'chavvy' and I'm nicely 'middle class' ! Lol

[Lavendersquare]

I'm really not keen on Skye at all.

[glesgakiss]

Im not 100 % in love with it but its only one we can agree on , told my sister though and shes said its "chavvy". Ive never met anyone in real life named it .

[SummaLuvin]

It's not a name I love, but there's nothing wrong with it. To me it feels very 2000's as my strongest association is with a Neighbours character from around 2007. Disparaging a name by calling it 'chavvy' is quite elitist, but it happens frequently on this site.
