Sloane, Saint and Percival Skylar
Names I have come across.Sloane and Saint are siblings. Sloane is a girl, Saint is a boy. The parents were the perfect example of hipster. They are expecting a new baby, I did not ask about the name.Percival Skylar will be nicknamed Percy. His grandmother does not like it at all. At first I was a little unsure, as Percy has been seen to be a wimpy name, but then I remembered Percy Jackson. I think he'll be fine and I actually really like it.

Saint sounds kind of pretentious to me, given the historical significance especially if the family isn't religious. Santo, Santos and Santa feel the same way to me. Sloane and Saint don't really match to me, and Percival Skylar is a odd mix of names... not a big fan.

idk why exactly, but Sloane has some charm and cuteness factor to me. appealed to me every since i first saw it. i like how much it stands out, not sounding or looking like many other names, but it's still very simple. not a fan though of the meaning (and meanings aren't such a deal to me usually, since they're so flexible), on top of how it's a little lacking in history as a first name.Saint is waaaay too loaded a title to be a first name imo. especially stands out when paired with something like Sloane. i can appreciate Percival. but it does come off as uptight and a bit nerdy-in-funny-way to me, too much for me to like. Percy doesn't help imo. Percival Skylar is admittably rly pretty though, and completely usable.

Percy is alright.
Sloane is ugly IMO and seems sort of pretentious, but I guess it's a name.
Saint ...? are they Catholic? I think it's a dumb name.

Nope.The way they were dressed just screamed "Look how hip and cool I am." I normally try not to judge but dude- the boy was wearing British style knickers complete with a brown sweater and hair reminiscent of 1900s baby pictures. Truly a caricature.
