    I like all of them.  The "r" on the end makes it a little more masculine, which I personally don't mind for a girl.

    I have a little boy in my class this year and his name is Skyler, so I think a boy when I see that.

    I like Skyla best out of choices offered.

    Sorry, but none of those are traditionally-spelled, authentic Dutch names.

    Schuyler, on the other hand, is.

    Plus, there are many beautiful actual Dutch names if that's what you're looking for - e.g.: Anneke, Grietje, Mieke, Katelijn, Antje; Jeroen, Andries, Pieter.

    Look at how people "Americanize" Irish names... or any names for pronunciation. If she said she was spelling it the "traditional" way, she would have been flamed.

    If you are looking to use a Dutch name, I would 100% use the Dutch spelling

    Schuyler

    It's #1 on my list, but I hate the Americanized phonetic spelling of the name

     Just my 2 cents
