"baby name" websites rarely get anything correct. if you read down you'll see more reasons why it's not a name in Japanese, among them, it's pronounced like Ski (or even ski- with a short /i/). If you watch anime, especially rom-com or slice of life genre's, you'll here it used often, with or without desu, in a very short phrase "suki desu" (pronounced very roughly Skee'des) with the sense "I like (you)", although subtitles and dubs often render it "I love you".
