Comments for the name Kyler

I found that the feminine form (that I spell Kylar) is either Celtic or Irish Gaelic in origin and means "shelter".

I think this also can be a variant of 'Kyle'.

AAHHHH! First time, they have Tyler. Then Sklyar. Now Kyler?! Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome name, but I can't say Kyler without having to say it again, because then I would have thought I said Sklyer or Tyler.

I think this is a great name. Much better than Kyle.

Love this name. We used it for our second son, and as time passes we only grow to love it more. Sometimes the name does need repeating because someone assumes they heard wrong and we really said Tyler. Personally, though, we like the sound of Kyler a lot more. The Gaelic meaning is "handsome one" and the English, Scottish and Welsh meanings are all "peaceful." This name couldn't be more perfect for our little guy.

Are you sure about that? I know enough Scottish Gaelic to know that there is no such word as that in Gaelic; there are some words that sound similar, but they don't mean "handsome". As far as I can see, this is just another trendy, meaningless name put together by some parents who are striving to be "unique".

"Kyle" and "Tyler" rammed into one name, why? With this constant rush to be "unique" and has any parent figured out that it's the child's name but the child's personality that makes the child unique?

Awww. I LOVE the name Kyler! It's so sweet. It's better than Kyle, which is waaaay too popular. I like Tyler, too, but I would take a Kyler over a Tyler any day!

Great. Someone took Kyle and rammed the nauseatingly trendy Tyler into it, forming this hideous monstrosity. Plus, it's getting popular as well. Kyler is just plain ugly.

Kyler would be a fine name were it not two horrible names smushed together. And spelled with an A like Sylar. (What? I like Heroes and he is my favorite character.)

In the game 'Nancy Drew and The Haunting of Castle Malloy' Kyler is the name of the female character that is British but of Irish descent.

I like this name more as a girls name than as a boys name. It's slightly more grounded than 'Skylar' (no pun intended), but it still has a whimsical feel.

I dislike this name. It sounds like the parents couldn't make up their minds between the names Kyle and Tyler so they just combined both. I also dislike it because I know a guy named Cuyler who pronounces it like this. 'Cuyler' is so grammatically incorrect (plus it looks ridiculous on paper) that every time I see it I want to puke. Cuy does not rhyme with Guy and therefore it is not pronounced KYler. Blehh. Perhaps that has destroyed this name for me, if I ever liked it to begin with.

I love this name on a girl. I think it sounds so beautiful and somewhat Irish.

Horrible. I'm in awe that there are people who actually like this. I absolutely cannot stand the name Tyler, and now there's this? Wanna really be unique? Why don't you use a name that has real meaning and history to it. Those are pretty uncommon these days. If I ever meet a little "kyler" I think I'll scream.
