‘People can’t take me seriously for my choice of baby name but I love it’

One confused parent is not entirely solid about the name they want to choose for their baby. While they sincerely adore the name they landed on, it seems that people think they are joking about their selection.
Taking to Reddit , they asked for some advice on if the chosen moniker for their baby suits the tot's last name.
They said: “Our baby girl is due in July, and me and my husband really love the name Skye or Sky, we also love Skylar!
“Only problem I feel is that her surname will be Cloud. Does anyone think Skye Cloud is weird and if you met someone with that name would you think anything non positive of it if that makes sense? Really struggling on this name.”
They made it clear that they had already asked for advice in a different forum, but people “just assumed I was a bot or troll so I got no answer.”
Users on the Reddit platform gave their opinion on the baby name.
One person said: “I went to school with a girl named Skylar Rain Storm. She lived under the impression that she was just as important as the weather.”
Another suggested that if people thought they were joking about their baby name, that was a big enough answer.
They wrote: “If they assume you’re a troll, that is very much an answer.”
Someone else clarified why people probably thought the name was a joke.
They said: “People think you’re trolling because this isn’t a name that you give to a human who will one day be an adult who has to introduce themselves as this at job interviews, this is a name you give to a cat or a dog. If you’re really in love with the name use it as a middle."
Someone had something a bit more positive to say about the name, but they still weren’t sure about it.
They penned: “It sounds like a cartoon character's name, cute but a little absurd.”
Someone, who thought the name was downright amusing, wrote: “Ordinarily I'm a huge Skylar/Sky fan but this is wrong. It's comical, really.”
