I love it...there's a sense of freedom and wonder about it. I remember Skye in Neighbours all those years ago...Harold Bishops grand-daughter. Loved it then and still do. The only advice I would suggest is how does it sound with your surname and can it be made into a horrible nickname?

Exactly what I was going to say
There aren't many surnames that would go with that one..
Congrats again its fantastic news..

Love it too - it's DD1's middle name

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

There's a Skye in DD2's class. She's a gorgeous little thing. I like the name but don't think I'd choose it myself.

Love it but i'm biased given it's dd's name! I think it's either a name you love or hate. I know it might be a bit hippy dippy to some people but I blame my mother! She was a serious hippy in her day and I think some of it passed on to me!!

Have never regretted calling her Skye though be prepared you may get some comments particularly from an older generation. But I know kids with slightly more conventional names and they get comments too so I think whatever you go for people have their own opinions and some people have a compulsion to tell you!

With regards to going with a surname, no problems here. And the HSE/PHN for some reason had her down on their records with my surname and it worked grand as well! Both would be more unusual as well so maybe rhat's why it works, I don't know!

I have to say I was very surprised to see a thread on here under baby names entitled Skye! Lots in Australia / New Zealand (where I heard it first when I was small - but also remember Skye in Neighbours!) but very few here!

Best of luck with the rest of the pregnancy!

(if there is anyone in real life who knows me and uses this forum they'll have figured out now who I am! I just couldn't not respond to a thread with that title!)

Much prefer Skye to Angel - surely that's a curse of a name? It'd be like calling your child 'Beauty'. I mean what if they're not? I'd say every Angel hears at least once in her life something along the lines of 'Isn't it a pity you can't live up to your name?' or ''Angel my foot - your parents should have called you Lucifer'.

Love the name Skye. Love it.

I knew a girl called Angel, suited her perfectly and it just sounded "right". It just worked.

Love the name Skye. I had also often heard it in Australia as colacola mentioned.

Absolutely adore it.
Would have loved to use it on dd but our surname sort of clashed with it.
It is really cool

What a beautiful name! It's certainly not one you'd hear very often but I wouldn't consider it too "out there" at all. It's a really pretty name that puts a smile on your face as you say it. Go for it!

I personally love the name Skye. As a child I knew a boy who was calles Sky (hippy parents) and wayyyy back then it was very unusual. I think he was actually officially named something very ordinary though, but they just liked to use the "hippy" names. At the time I used to think it was a bit embarassing (I knew a few different kids with names like that) but I now think that (a) it's nice to have slightly unusual names as long as they aren't wayyy out there, and (b) I think we are so much more aware/exposed to names from around the world now that many unusual names aren't seen as strange.



I know a woman called Beauty! I do think that using names like this, where you're sort of predicting something, is risky. But in some African countries it is common to use names that are positive & optimistic & hoping for a good life for the child.

I quite like it as a name.

My great grandmother was called Beauty and apparently it was a very ironic name. And that's coming from my mother who doesn't say negative things about much.

Our New Years Day baby boy, gone but never forgotten.

It's pronounced the same as sky.

My baby book said it's meaning is "Sheltering" (or that could be a load of whooey!)

The test to see if your baby's name goes with your surname is to shout out "firstname secondname, come in for your dinner!" in a thick Dublin accent.

Worked for us!!
