HelpSkye
My name-sin thread reminded me how much I like the name Skye.
And no, I wouldn't spell it Skyy or Skyee anymore ;) (loved these spelling as a teen).
In my later teens I loved Sky because it looks like the word. But I think now I prefer Skye, the place name.
Do you like it
Skye or Sky?
Do the spellings give you different images? For me Sky has more of a hippie vibe but Skye feels more refined and conventional, kind of like Brooke or Paige.
Does it feel dated to you? I know it was never that popular but weirdly enough it gives me a bit of a late 90s/00s vibe.
I know that Skylar etc. are popular (but falling and not super overused), do you think lots of them get called Sky for short? Or not because it is only a two syllable name?
Skylar etc give me a totally different vibe but even though they were popular more recently I get a super strong early 00s feel from them (2000s that is).
Sky and variants or Skylar, Skyler, Schuyler?

My 14 year old daughter's name is Skye. I had loved the name for years before she was born. She always gets lots of compliments from it.

Skye was the name of the MC in a historical romance that I found in my mom's closet. The book was written in the late 70s or early 80s, before Skye ever charted. It doesn't seem like that kind of name, and I thought it was painfully out of place in the story. Dumb on the character, but I think it works fine as a name for a real gal. I actually like it.
I don't like Sky as a full name so much. It's kind of a second-rate nature name. I'd rather Skye if it's a gal.
Sky short for Skylar (this spelling only, for a gal only) is fine.
Sky short for Schuyler (m) seems alright but I don't love it.
I don't like Schuyler on a gal at all, and Skyler looks incorrect to me, or like a riff on Tyler and Kyler.
But Skylar f is nice. Not exactly my style, but I think it's cool.

I do like it. But I agree, it has a very 90s vibe to it, and it does feel oddly dated. I know a couple - both in their 30s. Skye seems more complete as a name and distances it from the actual word.
If I had to choose, I would go with Sky and variants over Skylar and ilk (Schuyler in particular looks very awkward and not very feminine, would be better on a boy).
