It's a fine name but a bit dated

My first thoughts were Breaking Bad, but that will be forgotten soon, a name is for life.

I love love the suggestion above though of Starla, never heard that before. Would be a lovely name!

Very pretty name

OuchLegoHurts · 25/03/2018 00:07

Unless you're a big Breaking Bad fan I would avoid. But I do love it!

I thought it was mainly a boys name.

I once read a book where one of the characters was called Schuyler, and I pronounced it in my head as Shoolyer. It was years later that I realised it was Skylar.

I think that alone has put me off the name.

Not keen myself but nothing inherently wrong with it.

It reminds me of the Clint eastwood film
Wasn’t the boyfriend called skyler?

Every which way but loose!

I love it but prefer the Skyler spelling

Patsypedalo · 24/03/2018 23:20

Breaking bad, but that's not a bad thing. I like the name
