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

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.

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

Lol to the only Skye being known as an adult is a midwife. Exactly this.

Wouldn't do it.

Scarlett?

Dp. What's the negative about being artsy?

I like it

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"

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

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

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

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

Just love it.

This sounds like a you problem
