Me and Dp had originally decided on the name skye for dd3 due in 8 weeks but after so many nasty responses to the name we have decided to try again.

After loking through baby name sites today we have found 2 out of the thousand that we looked at.

The trouble is, we cant decide which or what sounds right with the surname!

They are Kara and Brooke.

Surname is Williams.

Any feedback would be great

thanks xxx

Brooke

RUMPEL · 23/06/2008 20:51

I think Skye is a beautiful name at people being nasty and if you like it who cares what others think? I would go with Kara.

wessexgirl · 23/06/2008 20:52

Skye.

Because that's the one you really want. I can't see anything wrong with it .

artichokes · 23/06/2008 20:55

If you both love Skye then go with that. Only think of the others if you are euqally enthusiastic about them.

My own personal taste would lead me to plump for Kara.

littleboyblue · 23/06/2008 20:57

I love Skye. You should go for that one.
Out of the other 2 I prefer Brooke

Miyazaki · 23/06/2008 20:57

I like Skye!

Was it the MN masses who put you off or family? don't let invisible witches women change what name you like... and never tell your fam the name until the gorgeous baby is in your arms.

iliketosleep · 23/06/2008 20:59

I've gone right off it

Everyone started making stupid comments like "oh when shes here i'll have to ask her what the weather will be like" etc

I'd rather not put her through nasty comments like that tbh

yeah, but if you just smile and ignore ignore people won't say things like that when she's here. my dad said that the name I originally liked (Esme) made him feel physically sick. And then suggested CASSIOPEIA. Second time around I didn't tell him the names we liked...

Skylar is pretty too, on that Skye type theme?

pointydog · 23/06/2008 21:03

I like Cara. Not with a K though.
Skye is ok.
Don;t like Brooke

Miyazaki · 23/06/2008 21:04

cross posts!

iliketosleep · 23/06/2008 21:05

I know!

and esme made him want to VOMIT.

at that point I just gave up

TBH we are on holiday at the moment with a lady who has a skye and caleb... all I can think about is neighbours. I think they were characters at about the same time as each other..
I like Kara, heard Karie the other day ( long a not short a) thought it sounded pretty.

PuppyMonkey · 23/06/2008 21:13

Esme is nicest of all...

Blandmum · 23/06/2008 21:14

Neither

i love the name sky, i was going to give to my dd(lucy erinn) but luckily my brother pointed out all she needed was diamond. as lucy in the skye with diomands, but love the name
also love brooke but not shure with your surname, as it does just sound like two surnames if that makes any kind of sence, skye is nice and girly

PinkTulips · 23/06/2008 21:19

not mad on either but if you spelled it Cara it would be nice.

Skye is prettier than both of them tbh

Shoshe · 23/06/2008 21:22

DD was a Chynna Skye, and DGD is Skye, it's a beautiful name.

iliketosleep · 23/06/2008 21:31

Yes i prefer the spelling cara to Kara actually.

So im still no better off although i do like the sound of cara skye williams, seems to roll off the tongue, i think...

OP posts:
Miyazaki · 23/06/2008 21:32

Agree that Cara is much prettier and classic than Kara (who knows why?!)

Cara Skye lovely

iliketosleep · 23/06/2008 21:34
