There are so many spelling variations of this.
For instance, Schulyer Grant is an American actress. (Her aunt is actress Katharine Houghton and her great-aunt was actress Katharine Hepburn.) She is best known for playing Anne's "bosom friend" Diana Barry in Anne of Green Gables.

Fist time I ever heard this name was in the 1975 film "The Drowning Pool", where Melanie Griffith's character is called Schuyler.

This spelling of Skyler seems to be used more for boys and the spelling Skylar seems to be used more for girls.

Skyler is one of those limp-wristed modern names that makes my innards churn in horror. A boy with that name is a boy condemned to a grade-school life of beatings and stolen lunch money.

A famous bearer is Skyler off of the Disney boy band DBFYC (Da Boyz From Your Culdesac). They're so funny! And my favorite is the Canada epsisode. BOYZ ON THE RUN!

I like this name spelled "Schyler."

I like the definition, "Scholar", so I am going to add Skyler as my middle name. :)

This is a really good name for the first 20 years of life.

Yuck. Skyler sounds extremely babyish and stupid. I hate it so much. Do you seriously think that it would look good on a resume? On girls it's even worse. What about this name sounds feminine?

I hated this name and thought it was trashy from the first time I saw it. I could never take a grown adult of either sex named Skyler/Skylar seriously. Being from the Capital Region of New York State, it also makes me think of Philip Schuyler Elementary School, named after one of our early senators.

First off, I absolutely hate this name for a girl. Names ending in -ER sound more like guy names to me, for example, Tyler. This name is almost too modern that it sounds silly.

Why not omit the K and have the name Syler?

I knew a boy named Cyler once - he went by Cy. He was cool.
