Are we really the only ones to name our baby boy Sky?

[UmMwahahahaaaaa]

I know lots of people would hate our baby boy's name, it's Sky - Skyler. We love* it obviously

Now (as my confused relatives tell me) there is Sky Masterson from Guys and Dolls and apparently a bloke from Mamma Mia called Sky but I wondered if there were any hippyMumsnetters with boys called Sky...
We can't be the only ones, surely.

Am convinced Skyler will be as popular as Finley one day think it's v trashy popular in the US.

*Seeker et al, please don't spontaneously combust with inner rage

mmm, I like Aphra.

Oy Seeker. I have a wilbert (well almost!)

I like the derivation of Skyler but not how it sounds when you say it as much as what it looks like written down...iyswim..

but I am glad you chose it for its meaning rather than because you already had a jaylor-aiden-kain it had to surpass.

What about me? I said I liked it too

Shesells, just read your message, thanks . Have taught loads of kids with 'unusual' names, you get used to it so quickly. Really want to know your dd's name, please CAT me!!!

Dh likes to say Skyyyylerrrr in a pirate voice

cross-post Shesells!

I like Tyler.

lol. I can't CAT. It's not that unusual imo. But when I told a friend he asked "Why on earth would you call a baby that?" DH thought similar things and later revealed when he told his family what she was called they all ed.

'Tis Bryonie-Rae. All one name. I have now realised that I spelt Bryonie wrong. Every time I see it on here its Bryony.

Aw, that's a sweet name. How rude of your friend!

She hadn't been born then. He was trying to talk me out of it, it didn't work.

I like it,mainly because of swoonsome associations with Sky Masterson, ESPECIALLY as played by the young Marlon Brando in the film version of Guys and Dolls

Ah, but Richenda dates from the 15th century! Skyler dates from 2007

Love Aphra, by the way.

my half brother is named Skyler. He's about 20 years old. step-mum ahead of her time ...(and American)

The problem with unisex names - my brother has one - is that they become almost exclusively female over time. I think it can be hard on a boy, particularly if there is a girl of the same name in the same class.
