What could the girl name Sky/Skye be a nickname for?
And don't suggest Skylar. I think Skylar is a boy name. I don't know if there are any other names it could be a nickname for, but if there are I would love to hear them.

Well you could just use Sky or Skye as a full name.
I do know of a girl named Skyla.
I don't know about a different spelling like Skyler.

Susan Katherine Yvonne, or Sarah Kirsten Yolande? Or something along those lines.

Skye is fine as a full name it's my daughter's name.Maybe a hyphenenate name like Skye-Anne would be nice. In fact if my first daughter's middle name wasn't already Anne I would have actually consider this.

My cousin has a daughter named Skylee nn Sky. But that's pretty gross :-p
Besides that, I can't think of anything else.

Skylar? Obviously....But honestly, I really like Skye/ Sky by itself. It's such a pretty name.

I can't think of any other than the ones suggested. I think it would work fine as a full name.However if you are worried about it being perceived as nicknamey then you could always do something like this:Rebecca Skye 'Skye'
Fiona Skye 'Skye' you get my drift.

I think it's better as a full name too, but some said it seems like a nickname so I wanted to hear what it could be a nn for.

Does Sky/Skye need to be a nickname? Since it's a word, I always considered it a full name in and of itself.

Schuyler is technically considered masculine while Skylar is considered ambiguous. Like New_Chloe and BBH, I like Skylark. You could also consider a name that means "sky" (or something thereof) and nickname her "Sky." Just a thought...

welllI don't know if this counts, but one time my friend Skye was phoning me on my cell, and my phone had a hiccup and said "Skyele calling". So there's always that...!I like BBH's suggestion of Skylark. That is really pretty and not too silly or farfetched. OR, you could start a new surname-name trend by going Polish/Russian - Sobiesky, Tchaikovsky, Kowalsky!?? Of course, the "skee" ending doesn't quite jive with "Sky", but that's beside the point.
