Ok so yesterday I posted about naming my girl "Bella Skye" and nobody liked it and my feelings got hurt. So now i can't use that name. I really need a name soon, because she is almost here, please please help. Thank you so much!!!

Good luck,

awwww thank you so much. I think its just people on this site because i posted it on myspace and all my friends loved it, so i feel better! I think Rory is a pretty name, yeah don't listen to people on here. Good Luck to you too!!
I think Bella Skye is very pretty.
If your feelings are going to be hurt so easily, and you aren't going to take anyone else's opinion into consideration, why are you posting on a message board that exists as a sort of sounding board? People come here to get an objective third-party view on their possible names. I know the most important thing is that you, as the parents, love the name; but it's also very important to consider how the name comes across to people you don't see every day. It may not be fair, but names can have a negative effect on how people perceive your child throughout their life...on college applications, job resumes, business cards, in their business listing in the phone book...If people think your child's name is ridiculous or light, they won't be likely to take him or her seriously.
That being said, I do like Bella, but I'm not crazy about Skye. I know a lot of people do like it, though; it's just not my style. I think the reason a lot of people seemed to not like the name here was because it seems so informal for a full name. Bella and its longer forms are all VERY trendy/popular right now, as well, which is another reason so many people seem to prefer other things.
You have to understand as well that being pregnant you have some emotional days. And that was one for me. I usually don't care what people think, but I have been having a hard time lately. My hubby is away for 6 months and that is causing me a lot of stress, and I came on here for someone to help me because i am really feeling lonely. And I don't have anyone here with me to help pick out names.
I haven't seen that post yet, but agree that Bella Skye isn't the best combo. Here are some less common names you may like-
Aurora nn Rory
Faye
Ferrin
Bridget
Thea
Tabitha
Maeve (rhymes with Dave)
Gretchen
Stella
Lola
Tamsin
Ansley
Cora
Ivy
Iris
Adele
Simone

Bella Skye isn't my favorite but it certainly isn't a bad name. :) nobody liked the name i chose for my dd at first (not here but irl) but i stuck w/ it and now no one could imagine her w/ a different name.
