We have no Dutch heritage, so we aren't going for Schuyler. However, we are unsure if we should go for Skyla/Skylar/Skyler? For our baby girl. She is definitely this name (has been since we knew she was a girl) we are registering her on Tuesday, so need to know

For a girl, I would probably go for Skyla. Skylar/Skyler seems more like a boys name to me.
It's a lovely name spelt whichever way though.

I prefer it with the "a" because I think it looks more like a female name. Not sure whether I prefer it with the "r" on the end or not. My first thought was Skyla but then as I looked at it more I wasn't sure if it looked unfinished. So perhaps Skylar is best. Congratulations!

My niece is Skyla.
I have seen it spelt Skyler as well.

I love Schuyler but your DC may have an easier time of it with Skyler.

I'd go Skylar too. I'm not so fond of the er ending.

Thank you just looked and Skyla is the most used spelling! I wasn't expecting that.

Skyler definitely.

And congratulations

I'd say Skylar. But I've never met one! That's my favourite spelling out of your list though.

I think skyler looks best written down!
