Double barrel

There was a Blair in the book less than zero

MN hates hyphenated names. I dislike the rude comments about them. I have one myself so it's personal to me when people are rude.

No one's being 'rude' to you, though -- they don't know you or your name, so by definition it can't be personal. They're expressing a (fairly widespread) dislike of a type of name you happen to have.

I loathe the name George and am baffled by its popularity -- but I recognise that other people don't agree, and think it's lovely and classic. I'm not insulting all Georges and parents of Georges.

My full first name is always used by my family as they don't like my name being shortened. Personally I don't mind it being shortened though

'Skyla' doesn't sound right because it isn't a name, it's a mishearing of a US name by someone with a non-rhotic accent who has left off the final 'r' because they don't pronounce it.

The original Dutch surname was 'Schuyler' (pronounced, roughly, 'Skyler' I believe there are characters in Hamilton and a song with that name? and it's tended to be used as a first name in the US as either Skylar or Skyler.

Some UK namers who don't pronounce their 'r's go with 'Skyla', but to be honest, it's a bit illiterate in a 'Chester Draws'/'rest bite'/'defiantly' way.

Not keen on Skyla, it seems a bit downmarket. Blair makes me think of Tony.
Dislike hyphenated first names.

I suspect that @BobbyBlueCat won't be the only one thinking that, so I'd try to think of another name.

I like the name Blair for a girl but have never heard skyla. It doesn’t sound right - but may just be me.

I agree together they sound like a company name rather tHan a person.

Though two surname names sounds rather like a law firm.

If you mean ‘Skylar’ or ‘Skyler’ (Anglicised forms of Dutch surname Schuyler often used for boys and girls in US) I’d spell it properly.

@bobbybluecat What an absolutely awful thing to say! ‘Council estate bingo card’?! How ridiculously snobby.

OP, I agree with others that Skylar Blair sounds better (you’ll probably have people spelling it with the ‘r’ at the end anyway and that way you won’t continually be correcting people), and I also see the point that you may as well drop the hyphen if you’re just going to call her Skyla(r), but it’s your child and your decision, so call her whatever you like and ignore the Katie Hopkins-esque name snobbery.

It's hideous. Truly.

Both names are rather chavtastic sounding but both together and with the addition of a hyphen complete the council estate bingo card.

Please don't do that to a child.

It's ALL so awful
Skyla looks unfinished. Why not Skylar? Blair as in Tony? Why??? And the hyphen for extra naffness...noooooo

It’s much better without the hyphen.

Skyla (no hyphen) Blair SO much nicer and if you are going to just call her Skyla anyway then make everyone’s life easier and don’t include the hyphen. Sorry. Hyphenated names so unnecessary and ruin what is otherwise a lovely name

A bit of a mouthful, especially as the first name sounds made up. Though a search brings up that it's a hormone-releasing IUD that prevents pregnancy for up to 3 years. Not quite sure what to do with that. She'll probably get a lot of people assuming it's Skylar.

Of course you can just call her Skyla if that's what you want to do, it doesn't matter. Don't listen to what other people say, it's your child so it's your choice.

Just be aware that MN generally doesn't like hyphenated names, so you might get negative comments.

If I'm honest (and you don't have to listen to me!) I think that Skyla Blair is much nicer than Skyla-Blair, especially as you want to call her Skyla anyway. But it's your child, so it's up to you.
