Amber or Skyler ? Please help me decide

Out of the 2, I prefer Skyler

Amber by far

Really dislike skyler tho' so probably not on the same wavelength

I much prefer Amber. I know a 5yo Amber, she's lovely and the name really suits her.

Skyler - I am not really familiar with the name and if someone told me their baby was called this, I wouldn't know the sex and would probably say "pardon?".

Amber. Skyler sounds made up by nutso American Child Pageant Moms.

Isn't Skyler a boy's name?

Although apparently it IS a real name, brought to America by Danish settlers in the 17th century.

It does, however, mean "Fugitive"

I know a female Skyler - not keen on it tbh. Amber is the Sharon of the future imo.

Amber. Can't stand Skyler either.

Isn't Gillian Nutter McKeith's daughter called Skyler? 'Nuff said. Amber is beautiful name imo

Amber.

Skyler is the older brother in the Joyce Carol Oates book about - spot on coldtits - the murder of an American Child Ice Skater
there's stuff in there about the name, too, being original, reaching for the sky etc

Amber is the name of my late dog - I really like it! Skyler sounds like a Moondreamer.

Amber

Don't like Skyler at all, sorry.

How about Skye - I know a lovely 5 year old one?

Isn't Skyla female & Skyler or Schuyler male?

I like Schuyler for a boy but Amber gets my vote for a girl.

Amber (though I am prejudiced- see profile!)

Out of the two, Amber.

I like Sky as a name, but Skyler will end up being nicknamed Skiver, I'd bet my ass on it!

Amber is nice, esp if it suits her colouring. Skyler makes me think of Skylon (some kind of tower they had at Festival of Britain, I think).

Skyler is almost a name - it's derived from German or Dutch, I think.

But Skyla is just a random collection of letters that by coincidence is pronouncable.

In most of Europe, Schuyler is pronounced "Shyler" (the soft "sh" dominates throughout middle Europe - compare St Scholastika for the pattern). Schuyler is used as a Christian name like many other "transferred" surnames.

But if you wanted the pronunciation unambiguous, it would have to be Skyla or Skyler. Neither of those names do it for me (sorry).

Amber is the name of one of the LeBon daughters, isn't it?
