Sky

Given name choice

Sky is the expanse of air and space visible above the earth—where clouds drift, birds fly, and celestial bodies appear.

The sky changes with weather and time: blue at midday, orange at sunset, black at night.

Figuratively, sky suggests limitlessness: The sky's the limit.

To skyrocket is to rise rapidly.

Skies often serves as a poetic plural: gray skies, friendly skies.
