Skye is my favourite girl's name, my family come from the Isle of Skye so it has a lot of meaning for me too.

I really like both Kai and Jake, but unfortunately too popular for my liking. Wah!
I know someone with the surname Jacob so would just find that weird. Nice name tho.

How do you pronounce Shafer? Shay-fer or Shar-fer, or something else altogether?

My husband's name is Kai. Funny that it's so popular now, because it was very rare when he was born. I really like the name, and we plan to use it as a middle name.
I really like Lex & Dex (DS is Max which wasn't common 9 years ago when we chose it).
Also Ty, Kai, Clay and Miles.

My kids MN's are Skye and Blake.
I like Rhain - you can spell it various ways. It might be a bit cutesy with Skye, though. Went to school with a kid called Kes - it's strong and simple too

I LOVE Tate - but DP vetoed me.
I have a Finn and Jude. If I had a third DS ( which sadly isn't going to happen), I would name him Bede
I was pretty stuck on Tate/Tait for DD, but she ended up a girl.
