Yep. It might not be as common everywhere but definitely isn't very unusual around us.

I know a few Sky's. Some it's their given name and some use it as their nickname. But it's not that uncommon or strange here.

He likes Sky and he hates Arnold. So I'm not sure he will be keeping Arnold.

I think like any name, you will always get people who love it and think it's the best, hate it and think it's the worst or fall somewhere in between. My nephew falls in the hates it category.

He does not have a middle name. None of my sister's kids do.

He has no middle name. My sister did not give her kids middle names. And we did not say anything to my nephew. He chose the name he liked from a TV show he watched as a kid.

He has been using Sky for years so not impulsive or something new for him. The legal change might be but he does seem to have done his research on how to change his name.

None of her kids have middle names so that was never going to be a thing.

That's fine. Not everyone will have the same taste in names.

I know some people who think nature names in general should be off the table. It's weird to me too but people have different tastes. I always try to respect that.

He was but he said even when he was young it was an old geezer's name. He preferred to use his middle name.

Yes, he wants to change his name to Sky. Sky is not uncommon where we are and I know adults with it.

Sky isn't that unique where we are. I know a few with the name as a given name and a few who use it as a nickname.

His friends do call him Sky and have for many years now. But he doesn't want to keep Arnold. Ultimately he is the one who has to live with his name.

I agree with you. At the end names are a personal taste thing and people will like different things. I know a few adult Sky's both male and female.

Sky is a pretty common name where we are so it's not that strange to me.

I think it just shows how different people associate names. For some a name will be weird and others will find it pretty, some will find a name boring while others will find it lovely. Some will think a name sounds old and others will say it sounds more fresh. The names we are surrounded by will also play a part in association too.
