Uh you're Dutch!! you should know that! it's just Schuiler...pr'ed Sguyler...so NO "k", they (english speaking people)just made it Skyler, because they can't pronounce our "hard G", they only have a soft one...:)

do you?I doubt that you have the same "hard G" we have..because when we try to make foreign people pronounce "Scheveningen" (Cinderella you'd know this word! :)) they really can't..they can't pronounce SCH as we do..for example, Gabriel, Garage, Gareth, Gay, etc all have a soft G...Could you give me an example of a word that has a "hard G"? Not trying to offend/attack you Chrisell, but i'm curious what you consider a hard G...ours is a hard one, almost like you are gargling your throat...:)

What we call "hard G"Is the G in Gabriel, Gareth, Gay, etc. What we call "soft G" are Gs that are pronounced as Js, as in Gillian, Gemma, Genesis, Genevieve, etc.Miranda
