I think it's pretty.

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

I don't love it because that just isn't my kind of name. And I associate it with lice because one of my kids was in class with a girl named Skye who kept getting lice. Her mom would text the group chat about 2x a week saying "Skye has lice again! Check your kids!"

I also love the names River, Sunny or Sunshine, and Summer. I gave my DD a less hippie-ish name because my DH was never going to go for any of these but I still like them.

This is me! I also love Willow, Lake, Autumn, Dahlia ...

And OP, I love Skye!

I disagree. Women generally aren't taken seriously but, i don't think it was because of their names.

There is a skateboarder named Skye Brown and her brother is named Ocean.

I like it.

I love it! Known a few with Skye as a middle name and only one with it as a first. Skylar is nice as well, prefer Skye.

I don’t love it, but it really doesn’t matter what we think. I will give you my experience, though. I chose my child’s name to be unique because I grew up with a very common 80s name and I didn’t want that experience for my kid. I chose an unusual name that is a variation on a popular name for my teen. it’s not so uncommon that a couple of kids haven’t had it through the years and a famous person has it, too. It isn’t a trailer trash sounding made up name. But my kid doesn’t love it and in the end, I think I would have been better going with something really classic. But I don’t regret it. I think with Skye there is a higher chance of people assigning stereotypes to it. Like you said, “oh your parents are hippies.” Or when she applies for a job, it definitely looks unserious on a business card. But she will always be remembered. Can you find an another s name?

I like it. Only ever met one Skye before, my midwife.

I think it’s fine especially given your Scottish ancestry and the Isle of Skye connection.

The Paw Patrol years will be potentially annoying, but those are short.

You could always do Skylar nn Skye

Not my vibe, but I don't think it seems too artsy/hipster. If anything it reads kind of meaningless.

You may have an annoying couple of years when all the kids in her class are Paw Patrol fans, just a heads up.

For a girl. Is it too artsy/hipster? I wanted an S name, and our last name is Scottish.
