If your Skipper is as busy and energetic as their name's first bearers, you'll need to be ready to keep up with them! Before becoming a masculine first name, Skipper was an English occupational title given to those with certain jobs. Indeed, the term "skipper" is still used today to describe a "shipmaster" or a "captain" of a sporting team. Whether on land or sea, sweet Skipper will have the confidence to make things happen and take the lead. Throughout history, "skippers" were also "basket makers," "acrobats," and "tumblers," so it seems likely that your tiny tot will do a lot of running, playing, and bouncing.
