Help[Opinions] Schuyler
I've seen this name a lot recently, and it is growing on me. I prn is pretty much as it is spelled with the soft "sh" sound, but I see it as a variant of Skyler, too. How do you prn it, and wdyt?

No, but words with a German origin or root form...
...will pronounce words with an "sch" like "sh". It just so happens that the word "school" has middle Dutch roots, so like Schuyler, it's pronounced with a "sk". An honest mistake for anyone to make if they'd never heard Schuyler pronounced before. :)

Skyler is just a phonetic / Anglicized form of Schuyler. (I assume your spelling it Schulyer is just a typo) As far as I know, it's always pronounced Skyler. Have you ever heard anyone named that pronounce it Shyler?
I prefer Schuyler on a guy, Skylar on a girl.

You'd be correct. Didn't even notice. I tend to be dyslexic from time to time.
Also, I don't actually know anyone with this name, which is part of its appeal. It's not common around here at all. I've never heard it in "real life."

I honestly don't like the name Schuyler. I would pronounce it shyoo-ler, but I do see how it could be a variant of Skylar. I think Skylar is much better though.

It is pronounced like Sky-ler.
I like it, but it's too popular where I live.

I pronounce it just like Skyler... I know two little boys with this name and one little girl... I think it is a very cute name, but it is extremely popular where I live.
