Which name do you prefer for a girl? My husband and I are both private pilots with a passion for flying so we love the name Skylar, but worry it might be too "wild." With Emily our worry is that it might be too popular. Would love to hear your opinions or reasoning! Thanks!

Re: Skylar or Emily?
To me, skylar seems like it will be very dated 10 years from now and it's just not pretty enough to look past the trendiness. Ex- Sophia and Ava are trendy names right now but they are very pretty names so they get a pass vs something like skylar or Madison.

FWIW I'm an Emily and there are millions of us out there. I'm cool with Amelia Skye though.
