Hi,

Considering this name for my newborn DD. Interested to know how most people would spell this without being told, and are some versions more typically used for a boy rather than a girl?

Really not sure what the usual spelling is and not keen to give her a name she has to spell out her whole life. I'm in Surrey if it helps.

Thanks

Only got to pg1 and the word chavvy was mentioned Hmm

How you can judge a kid on its name is beyond me.

I really like the name Skylar

FaceLikeAPairOfTits · 17/01/2019 09:18

Schuyler for me too.

MikeUniformMike · 17/01/2019 11:14

I wouldn't use any of those names. They seem a bit downmarket.
Skye isn't too bad.

Schuyler

pixilatedpenguin · 17/01/2019 12:10

It’s a surname isn’t it? But Schuyler is the best spelling

shumway · 17/01/2019 12:11

Schuyler.

Florries · 17/01/2019 12:22

Ironically, I knew a Skyla who got pregnant very young. Could have done with a Skyla....

No to them all.

GhostSauce · 17/01/2019 12:35

Argh no it's terrible.

itbemay · 17/01/2019 12:36

Beautiful name .

mbb1 · 17/01/2019 12:42

It's awful, however it's spelt

thegrassisgreenifyouusefilters · 17/01/2019 15:10

I think it's nice, I'd go for Skyler if you want it pronounced SKY LUR rather LA

slappinthebass · 17/01/2019 15:21

Skylar is lovely. Skyla is awful, though the are usually pronounced the same. I believe Skyler is more commonly used for boys but can be both. Skyler is better than Skyla. Or the Dutch Schuyler I like too.

RiverTam · 17/01/2019 15:23

Skylar. But that's only because of Breaking Bad.

slappinthebass · 17/01/2019 15:29

Isn't it Skyler in Breaking Bad?

RiverTam · 17/01/2019 15:29

shows how much attention I was paying....

FartnissEverbeans · 17/01/2019 18:39

Skylar.

Schuyler is ridiculous. Really? You can imagine a little girl named Schuyler? I know it’s the original form of the name but it’s unusable. I can’t believe anyone is suggesting it.

JaiNotJay · 17/01/2019 18:51

I would also spell it Schuyler. It's traditional, not ridiculous. Hmm I'm sure there are plenty of little girls named Schuyler. The one I know of is now in her late teens.

Icklepup · 18/01/2019 11:17

Skyla

Icklepup · 18/01/2019 11:19

Actually Skyler looks better

TatianaLarina · 18/01/2019 12:11

Essex wannabe US.

MrsFoxPlus4 · 18/01/2019 13:49

Are people joking with the Schuyler option 🤦🏻‍♀️, Skyler or Skylar for me.

gentlyscented · 18/01/2019 13:53

Skylar
