Don't do this. The name is spelled Schuyler. Skylar is for illiterates.

Exactly. I have known two Schuyers, one male, one female.

This sounds like a you problem

Soap opera names. Don't do it. No to Skye also. Shannon?

Imagine saying a million times, “it’s Skye. Like the sky but with an E on the end.”

It's a pretty name but not universally suitable for a grownup.

Hedge your bets with a classic middle name.

I love Margaret and Meg. St. Margaret was a Scottish queen.

How about Margaret Skye and call her Skye until she's old enough to decide how she wants to present herself?

I did that for my kids...classic first names and unusual middles.

Mine are similar except the middle names are family names. So along the lines of "William Holmes LastName"

You are incorrect. While Skylar is a variant of Schuyler, Skylar has been around since the 17th century in American and longer in the Netherlands (it's of Dutch origin). Both are acceptable. And Skylar gained a lot more popularity as Skylar Austin became more famous.

To be honest, I would definitely peg someone who named their kid this as hipster/artsy/crunchy. You might not be, but the association is there.

But PP *feels* like it’s for illiterates, so it must be true
