So far as I know kilts are always referred to as kilts, not skirts. The
design of a kilt is distinctive and I've never heard it referred to as a
skirt in Britain. When I was a girl in school in Scotland I wore a kilt
and otherwise, dresses or skirts, but my kilt was never a skirt. Also, I
don't think boys wear kilts for everyday. They're usually reserved for
dress occasions i.e. the formal dress of a Scottish boy or man.
What an odd question.
