Skylar- what do you think?

angelwings111

I have always loved the name Skylar for a girl ( or Skyler). DH thinks it is a boys name?!? What do you think? Thanks!

Dh thinks it's a boys name too and that's what he wanted to use for DS, but I said no.  I think it's pretty unisex. I don't really like the name though.

Skylar can be either (warning: it's a trend name) and I don't like it

Schuyler is the original spelling and it's only for boys. Still, I don't like it

Skye is for girls.

I kinda like it, but it sounds feminine to me. Schuyler intrigues me, but is it pronounced shy-ler?

 Skylar s-ky-lar

For some reason I just can't take this name seriously. It doesn't sound "smart" to me.  It seems trendy/ cutesy IMO

kim1989

The name is really nms either way

But I would definately say it?s a boy name (and that it should be spelled as Skyler)

I don't hate it, but it's one of those wishy-washy, not really distinctly boy or girl, trendy names, IMO.

for me it reminds me of a stripper..

My niece is Skyler, and I think it sounds like what she is-the daughter of teenage parents.

I've only ever known of 2 skylers: one was a boy, the other was named skylar raine and her mom was a drug addict and left her as an infant. It's definitely NMS at all... but I enjoy more classic names (my DD is Charlotte).

I am pretty sure it is a unisex name.  DH & I had considered that name when we were planning on what to name our future kiddos.  We had it picked out for a boy.

I agree with your DH, Schuyler is a boy's name.  I don't like the spelling Skylar/er

DD is Schuyler nn Sky

It's pronounced Sky-ler ( sch- is pronounced the same as in schedule, school, scheme...) 

Yes it's traditionally a boy's name, but I vastly prefer the original spelling for either gender than the trendier/trashier Skylar/Skyler

 It's gotten mixed reviews, but I don't really care. We love it and hope DD will too. We call her Sky most of the time and it totally suits her.

Rachel Zoe just named her son Skylar, don't know if that would make anyone like it more or less though

unisex.  either way, it's nms.  in high school though, i loved this name.  now, not so much.

LMS05

Hate it. The only person I know with this name is a girl.

iLikeSloths

I don't like it.  I've seen it used for both boys and girls.  Like the PP's said, it's trendy and sound like a name teenage parents would use.

newmommytobe2011

I like the name alot my friend who is also pregnant is naming her little boy spelled Skyler.

but i do think this is a unisex name and i like it either way, but i would use it as a boy name if i had to choose!

This.

I personally know a 20-something male named "Skylarh" and a one year old girl named "Skylar". When my friend named her baby girl Skylar my first instinct was that it's a boys name. I still feel this way, although I think it's a very feminine sounding/ trendy sort of name for a boy... NMS at all

sugarpumpkin716

i know a lot of people don't like it for either sex but i happen to LOVE it for either. skylar for a girl and skyler for a boy. i really do like it.

kimberlymautz

I know two Skylars, one is a boy, the other a girl. The boy always seemed to think his name was a little girly though. The girl was always called Sky for short.

PinupMomma08

All boy. But a girl i went to hs with just named her daughter that.

i only like it spelled that ^ way - but i do love it for either a boy or girl.
