Skyler or Tommy?

[namethoughts]

Down to our two favourites and undecided.

Skyler or Tommy?

Tommy.

Surely Skyler for a girl and Tommy for a boy? Or am I missing something?

@InTheRainOnATrain It is a unisex name but perhaps too girly...

Styler is usually for a girl and a little dated. I would go with Tommy but Thomas on his birth certificate for when he is an adult.

Tommy

Is it? I think most people would have heard of it as the wife in breaking bad. Also I think the daughter’s name in Wolf of Wall St but don’t hold me to that! Definitely Tommy then if it’s for a boy. Tommy is a lovely name for a little boy!

Agree with this completely

Skyler is to my mind a girls name and Tommy a boy’s name so I guess it depends on whether you’re having a boy or a girl?

This

Tommy. skyler sounds to american for me and abit chavvy

I'd go with Thomas on the birth certificate then use Tommy or Tom.

Tommy is dreadful, and Skyler is a bit girly.

DS knew a Skyla (this is how his family spelt it) at nursery. I've never known it as a girl's name.
That said I prefer Tommy

absolutely this.

Thomas.

I've only known Skylar as a girls name so I'd say Tommy

Sklyer sounds like a girls to me. I prefer Tom or Thomas that way he can have options when he is older.

Thomas gives him the option of calling himself several forms. You are naming a child for adulthood not perpetual toddlerhood. Skyler is just awful.

Agree Skyler sounds like a girls name.
I like Thomas/Tom but not Tommy. Most Tommys I can think of are a bit rough.

We officially named our son Thomas but refer to him as Tommy so my vote is for Tommy!

Thomas on the birth certificate. You can give him any nn.

Not Skyler.
Thomas, Tom for short. Tommy is fine for a child but not an adult.

Skyler is beyond hideous.

Imagine a middle aged man having to say his name is Skyler?!

Skyler sounds like a cartoon character. Tommy is nice but I'd have to use Thomas on the BC.

Tommy on an adult makes me think Robinson. I would always use the proper name on the BC.
