Baby girl Skye or Violet

Just found out we’ll be having a third baby girl in the summer 2025. We already have an Ivy and Amelie. What are peoples thoughts on the names either Skye or Violet? Or any alternatives that’s go with our other daughters names? I love Skye but haven’t had the best reaction to it when discussing with others.

Hmm not a fan of Skye at all. Violet's ok

Love both. Particularly Skye, beautiful name.

Skye

SprigatitoYouAndIKnow · 12/12/2024 07:37

I like Skye more.

Moreteaandchocolate · 12/12/2024 07:45

I like both. Violet is my favourite and goes best with Ivy and Amelie (beautiful names btw!)

If I were Ivy, I'd be jealous of the name Skye. I think Violet goes better.

Love Skye.

Georgie743 · 12/12/2024 07:52

Violet - pretty, classic
skye - a bit twee, chavvy

starpatch · 12/12/2024 07:52

Love Skye. Violet just seems a bit frilly?

Comedycook · 12/12/2024 07:52

Prefer violet and it goes better with your other dds names

charltonred · 12/12/2024 08:30

I much prefer Violet, a classic to me.
Skye is a bit down market where I am, plus I know a few dogs called Skye which would also put me off.

Viviennemary · 12/12/2024 08:31

I like both. But prefer Violet.

JollyHollyMe · 12/12/2024 08:32

Violet goes with the other 2
Skye is as others said - down market (or originally alternative New Age traveller)

Atishooo · 12/12/2024 09:08

Skye. I don’t get the appeal of Violet at all.

Westfacing · 12/12/2024 09:13

Violet

There's a 12 year-old Violet a few doors down - she lovely and spirited

Skye is OK but had its day I'd say

marshmallowfinder · 12/12/2024 09:20

Violent looks like Violent. Skye is OK.

JollyGreenSnake · 12/12/2024 10:05

When I see Skye, it makes me think of the Paw Patrol pup!

FayCarew · 12/12/2024 10:11

Skye is too close to Ivy. I'd end up saying Skivey.
Ivy and Violet both plants.

user1492757084 · 12/12/2024 10:17

Skye is up with double barrelled first names for me quite chavvy

virginqueen · 12/12/2024 10:24

Violet is by far the nicer name. Skype seems very dated

virginqueen · 12/12/2024 10:25

Or Skye even

CookieMonster28 · 12/12/2024 10:46

I think Violet is more on par with Ivy and Amelie!

Beamur · 12/12/2024 10:51

I think either goes with your existing girls names. Neither is my cup of tea personally but I think they are both pretty names with character. Skye is perhaps a bit more marmite, but if you love it, then use it.

Bringithere · 12/12/2024 11:00

Violet goes well with the others. Not keen on Skye.
