How does Skyla or Skylah not end in -la?

Well, yes, they do if you spell those madey-uppy names like that.

The original name with that sound is spelt Schuyler, which is a surname of Dutch origin and became popular in the US as a first name.

Either way, I’m not a fan.

Skyla/Skylah/Skylar is very much an established name. The spelling of a lot of names has changed over time, and in fact spelling names consistently every time is a relatively new thing! For example en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_of_Shakespeare%27s_name
