Thoughts on Schuyler?

[AustraliaAmerica]

Thanks! Pronounced Sky-ler...

Oh.... So is it said Bram or Braahm?

We find girls names easier, as we are keen on the ones that work all across the globe.

We could do Vincent Bram Schuyler or Bram Vincent Schuyler, if it's not too much.

Boy - Bram
Girl - Skyler

Sorry but other spelling of Skyler looks very 'made up'. A bit like Jorja for Georgia.

I like Schuyler, which I've always thought of as the proper spelling (like the actress Schuyler Grant who was in the Anne of Green Gables films). If you have the Dutch heritage to go with it, I'd say go for it. It's a beautiful classy name.

I manage to get through most days not mentioning them

I really like Vincent.

Your surname is Dutch and you have Dutch heritage - then you can spell it the Dutch way

Just be aware that since you're not Dutch and you're not speaking Dutch and living in a Dutch community then she'll have to spell it every day of your life you live in the UK

And she'll have to explain how to pronounce it too. Every day you live in the UK.

Have you considered Bob?

People are giving you opinions on the name - they're saying it's fine but no one will be able to pronounce it or spell it and that will be irritating for you and / or your child.

I'd have pronounced it School-yer.
It looks nothing like Skyler. Which is equally as awful.

Yooneek spellings IMO are fine provided you can tell what the name is.
Eg.
Skyla
Skylagh
Would be okay

Ilive it isn't unique ffs!

I really like Bram Vincent Schuyler

I would go with Schuyler if you are going to use the name. I'm not a fan of the name personally, though do prefer the original spelling to the horrid Skyler spelling.

Bram is nice.

Ok you know it's a Dutch name and you don't think it's that unusual and you know how to pronounce it. Great. Hardly anyone else will. I would look at it and assume you couldn't spell. I know an 'Ameleya' which I'd put in the same bracket. Sorry but you asked,

It's very unique if you're going to be living in the uk op ..no point getting stroppy when people are giving you opinions which you asked for

I know how to pronounce it, but them my current obsession is the musical Hamilton (which features a whole family of Schuylers)

Bram is cute

Schuyler is nicer than Bram.

I've come across a Schulyer pronounced as Skyler before (girl, family also said they wanted the Dutch spelling), so would now default to pronouncing it Skyler, but before that, I'd have mangled it horribly. It's not one where the pronunciation is obvious from the spelling for me.
It's also a name I associate as being a girl's name, as I've only ever met female Schulyer / Skyler's before.

I prefer Vincent out of the names you've mentioned.

I think it would suit a girl more than boy but that's just personal opinion.
You have Dutch heritage so I understand choosing that spelling.
People will at first find it hard to pronounce in the UK I'd imagine.
I wouldn't have had a clue from reading it and was surprised to find it was said like skylar.
People wil get used to it though!
Name your child what you like OP and what fits with your heritage!

If you live in the UK, then don't. I'm usually pretty good with pronouncing unusual names and I said it "Shy-ler" or, at a push, "Shoe-ler".

If you want it pronounced Skylar, spell it that way.

For some reason I think of Skylar as a girls name, but read Schuyler as a male name.

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that the original spelling was Schuyler. I don't know anyone with this name or have any Dutch heritage but still knew it was pronounced Skylar. But now I'm wondering how I knew that

I like it op.

I'm with you, Delta!

I've known Schuyler was pronounced 'Skyla' for as long as I can remember. I honestly thought it was common knowledge (obviously not!). Really surprised at this thread.

I think Skyla looks 'yooneek' and Schuyler looks classy and correct.

I really like it!

It puts me in mind of an old Jewish professor. Which isn't a bad thing!

I like it, I would keep the Dutch spelling.
