Re: Sky... for a boy

"Guys and Dolls" fan, are we? :-)
Sure. Sky for a boy. Why not? I'd prefer it as a nn for something like Schuyler, or Celestino, or Stellan Kai or Soren Malachi, but it can stand on its own too. From your list I'm digging all of them. I started to list the ones I liked and realized I was just repeating yours. :-P My favorite, if I had to pick, would be Sky Alexander. I love it for the flow and the vague association in my mind with Scotland (Isle of Skye and the fact that Alexander has historically been used a lot there.)

Not just a boy, my dear, but a man. 1950's Marlon Brando in fact. "Sky Masterson."
"I got a horse right here, the name is Paul Revere, and here's a guy that says that the weather's clear. Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do, . . . ." Man, that's going to be in my head all afternoon. :-) (Yes, I know Marlon's character doesn't sing this song, but the movie is worth sitting through if only to hear this one. Oh, and "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat.")

I love musicals, I haven't watched the movie but I saw Guys and Dolls when it came to town two years ago. It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend seeing it.
