Comments for the name Skye

My name is Skye and I'm a female. I love my name even though it is confusing for people when they read my name and mistake me for a boy, or when I have to constantly remind people to put the E on the end of my name. I'm 16 and when I was born it was much more unusual than it is today. I love how it comes from the Old English for "scholar" which comes from the latin "scholaris". I'm thrilled that I was born with this name and hope that it doesn't get too much more popular because it is a wonderful thing to be born with such an unusual name.

Skye is a very beautiful name.

A famous bearer is singer Skye Sweetnam.

I think the name Skye is cool. One reason is because that is my name. But it wasn't used that much when I was born, and now it is becoming really popular. I guess I'm sad and happy that it is being used more. Sad becuse I don't feel that special, but happy that maybe soon it will be in baby books and I'll know what my name means. I guess I just have mixed emotions. Oh well.

A very pretty name. I like the uniqueness of it. Definitely for me it is a girls name whether it has an "e" on the end of it or not. Makes a great middle name too.

This is my son's middle name and I find it very calm and serene. It works beautifully for either gender.

I love the name Skye, I hope to use this one day for a future daughter, maybe Skye Louise. :)

I like Skye. At the moment I have chosen this as a middle name for a future daughter.

Skye is the character off Neighbors, played by the growing musician, Stephanie Macintosh.

I really like the name Skye a lot. I'd probably use it as a middle name.

This name is not very creative and it sounds so cheap! That's right, cheap!

Skye is MY name. To be honest, I wish I had something more feminine and flowing, even though everybody loves it and claims that it isn't unisex because only a gay dude would be named Skye. Nobody ever forgets me, that's for sure.

It's definitely not cheap as somebody here said (that would be something like Fanny or something two-named like Bambi-Lou or something), who, I'd like to point out, is named TAYLOR, which has always been near the top of my retarded names list.

I disagree 100% with the "gay dude" comment. This is my son's middle name and he is all boy for sure and has some gorgeous sky blue eyes at that. I think "earthy", mythology, & "word" names are very hot & cold. People either love or hate them, hardly ever in between.

Ok, I'm offended at what these users are saying about gay men. To the person 1 comment above me, I'd like to say that all gay men are NOT weird people with feminine names. That's a stereotype, and it's horrendous that you think according to stereotypes. To the person above me, how does being gay make you less of a man?

P. S. Skye is an ok name.

I never said Skye was a "gay dude" name; I was quoting what other people have said to me when I complained that my name wasn't feminine enough; I am an avid feminist and I want a name that lets people know automatically that I am a woman. My brother is gay and I prefer women to men, so don't even try to pull the "hate" card on me.

My name is Skye, and I haven't ever met anyone else with the name, male or female. I don't think it is a 'gay' name for a guy, how can a name be 'gay'? I think it would be a lovely middle name for a boy, although I wouldn't choose it for a first name.

Skye was probably derived from the name SKY and has been modified to sound more modern. However I like the spelling SKY better.

I like the name Skye. I like both spellings; Sky and Skye. It works for both genders, though I would probably use it for a girl.

Skye as a boy's name, is very unfortunate. It's a girly name (no offense). I agree with Taydbug112. It does sound cheap.

I prefer this spelling to Sky, as it just looks so concrete, so literal, and this one looks more like a name, if you get my drift. Kind of like Raine looks better than Rain. I think this name is far better for females, even though the name Skylar sounds strictly masculine to me nowadays. It's a pretty name, but it's sort of cliché as a middle name by now, and I REALLY think people should stop combining this name with names like Heaven Lee, Misty, Summer, September, and other names that make the combo mean something in the very language that people in the country and the area where the poor person has to live and struggle for credibility, speak, that is, English. I say, use this as a first name, or combine the name with another name with a hyphen.

I absolutley love the name Skye. My eldest daughter is called Skye and really likes it too. No one else in our area has it. Every one comments one what a lovely unusual name it is.

In the Harvest Moon DS versions, this is the name of a handsome, smooth-talking thief, who warns and hints to his victims when he comes.

His name fits him, and I think this would be a wonderful boy's first name. Skye give the essance of a handsome, cunning boy with light hair and eyes.

Skye is my middle name. My first name is Ariel, and I think Ariel Skye is a very pretty combination. I come from a pilot family, and so my name makes sense, especially when you think how similar Ariel is to aerial.

American-Slovak actress Skye McCole Bartušiák, born 28 September 1992, Houston, Texas.

It's pretty (with this spelling ONLY), but I'd only use it on the right person, like a girl who's slender and fair. On someone else, say, a fat, hairy woman, I'd recommend changing it.

I prefer this spelling to 'Sky.' It looks more complete to me.

I have a friend who plans to use this name. Honestly, I'm not too fond of it. It seems cute for a young girl, but a grown woman, maybe not so. However, it's definitely quirky and unforgettable. I think it makes a better middle name than forename, but each to their own. It's quite common at the moment, but I've never actually met anyone with this name and its popularity will eventually fall. It's not my favourite name, but there's definitely worse.

This is another soap opera name, Skye Quartermaine (Robin Christopher) on General Hospital.

I adore this name, and I think it works better for females, although males could have it for a middle name. I would like to call my daughter Skye, if I so had one.

I really dislike this name. It sounds weird. Just like the names: Princess, Precious, Summer etc. Horrible.

Skye Sweetnam sings the theme song for the Disney show, 'The Buzz on Maggie'. Skye Nakaiye is a character from the show, 'The Puzzle Place'.

I like the name itself but here is a cute variation I came up with: Skyeana (pronounced sky-AH-na).

This is my first name and I love it! Yes, I got all the SkyTV etc. nonsense as a child, but I have always been proud to have an unusual name. I like the spelling, I think it sounds more like a name than Sky, although I like that spelling too. I have only ever met one other person called this, and she spelt it Sky. Personally, I think it is better as a girls name, but that is only because I never really thought of it for a boy. As a boy's middle name it might be alright.

It's funny that both Sky and Skye are listed solely as girl names, because the Sky/Skye(s) I've known, they're male! So, personally, I prefer this name on a boy--and I don't think it's a weak name in the least.

I hated this name and thought it sounded annoying and faddish at first, but over time I really grew to like it (but only with this spelling). It could only work on a girl/woman with a certain physical appearance and personality, though; this is one of those names that not just anyone could pull off past early childhood.

I don't mind this after the Isle of Skye, but it seems to me that it's basically "Sky" with a dollop of girlyness. While Sky might not seem that hideously juvenile on a person, Skye seems to be a hurricane of rainbow pony giggles. Skye might be a decent middle name, but it seems oddly butchered. As an American, I can't help but think people's thoughts aren't going to flash to the island.

I think Skye is a great name for either a boy or a girl. It gives you the impression of either a very pure or easy-going, free-spirited individual. Personally, I like it more as a boy's name, but I've heard of girls named Skye.

I also like this spelling of the name. It seems far less pretentious and generic than Sky. It also seems more like a name, and less like something someone braindead enough to name their kid "Apple" would pick as a runner-up.

The meaning of the Isle of Skye's name is uncertain. It may mean "winged" from the shape of the island. It seems oddly apt that someone with the name that sounds like "sky" would be "winged"!

Skye doesn't only have to be female. I've seen it as a male's name too. I think I like it more as a male's anyway.

I chose the name Skye for my daughter back in mid 1975. While stuck on board an aircraft carrier in the middle of the west pacific, I found an old magazine with an article about the Scottish Isle of Skye. The island sounded so green, so eternal and serene that I said to myself if I ever have a daughter I will name her Skye... it also sounded well with my Celtic last name. 3 years later my daughter was born and we named her Skye.

This is my middle name and what everyone called me during my childhood. People have often asked if my parents were hippies and I have to explain it's taken from the Isle of Skye. Still, it's a nice name that most people have told me is "cool."

My name is Skye and I'm male, and I personally love my name (No, I'm not gay). I've never found a straight-up definition of this name, but I have been given multiple separate answers, and people have told me it means: eternal, winged, protected, sheltering, and enduring. So for me really, it's a survivor's name.

These meanings are pretty legitimate for me, and I hope this answer helps.

This name sound very young and immature, and only belongs on a pet or a 15 year old fictional stripper.
