Definitely Tyler

I’d spell it Tyler. I’ve never seen it spelled Tylar.

My autocorrect doesn’t recognise it either.

MissTT85 · 05/04/2021 11:11

I thought so too, Thank you

I've seen it spelt Tyler and Tylor but never Tylar!

Tyler

Yup. SIL is weird. It's Tyler.

Tylar is a name, but used mainly in America for girls.

MissTT85 · 05/04/2021 11:13

Me neither she is adamant I am wrong.

Tyler, it’s the older version of the name.

“ The name Tyler is a boy's name of English origin meaning "maker of tiles".”

“ Tylar as a boy's name is related to the Old English name Tyler. The meaning of Tylar is "a worker in roof tiles".”

I’ve only ever seen Tyler.
Tylar autocorrects to Tyler in my phone too.

AlCalavicci · 05/04/2021 11:14

Tyler , I have never seen it spelt with a A

dobidobidooo · 05/04/2021 11:17

It's Tyler...it's originally a surname and it was mine before marriage.

shipsandgiggles · 05/04/2021 11:18

Tyler

MissTT85 · 05/04/2021 11:21

'A worker in roof tiles', that made me chuckled.

Tyler

DramaAlpaca · 05/04/2021 13:25

Of course it's Tyler. Any other way looks like you can't spell.

GertrudeTheGreat · 05/04/2021 14:10

It is definitely Tyler!

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 05/04/2021 14:16

Agreed on Tyler - it's an occupation surname, which I've never seen spelt any other way personally.

daisypond · 05/04/2021 14:33

It’s Tyler. I’ve never seen it spelled another way.

Potpourriandpennysweets · 05/04/2021 14:35

I will never be able to hear that name the same again now. It will be "roofer, Tyler, brickie, sparkle, chippie " etc.

SixDegrees · 05/04/2021 14:35

I’ve only ever seen it spelt as Tyler.

RuthW · 05/04/2021 16:14

Tyler without a doubt

OnTheBenchOfDoom · 05/04/2021 16:16

Tyler

CombatBarbie · 05/04/2021 16:27

Def Tyler, I know 2 teen lads and my DSD who is 20.... Never seen it as Tylar 😕

PlainJane1000 · 05/04/2021 16:55

My friends son is Tyler.

Rtmhwales · 05/04/2021 16:58

@Gingernaut

Yup. SIL is weird. It's Tyler.

Tylar is a name, but used mainly in America for girls.

As an American, I've never met a girl called Tylar. I've met probably three called Tyler but that's a different story.

For the OP - it's Tyler. End of.
