I saw a man on one of those nature channel documentary-type shows and I saw his name was Sky (could have been Skye) and it hit me all of a sudden too, hey that is kind of a really nice and cool name on a guy. It's reminiscent of Max or Nico, that slightly "outdated poetry" [props ;)] but still short and snappy feel.
I don't mind Skylar, either, as a full name but since it's getting a bit trendy, and esp. for girls, I kind of like just Sky. I guess I'd be afraid he'd get teased a bit so I don't know that I'd use it myself, but I like it. On a girl for some reason it comes off to me as too naturey and airheaded but oddly doesn't seem to for a boy.
Not sure but I might prefer Skye. It makes me think of the Isle of Skye, and since I have Scottish heritage (and like a lot of names of Celtic origin) that's a plus. Also, because it doesn't end on the "y" (which so many people seems to indicate female - not me, but if I was going to use it I might opt for the extra letter). But Sky has a nice simplicity to it as well.

Since Skye is the more common spelling for girls I think it is probably more associated with females than the spelling Sky.
Personally I prefer both spellings - Sky and Skye - for a boy than for a girl. At the moment I slightly prefer the spelling Sky but a few years ago I preferred the spelling Skye, really I very much like both spellings.
