[Opinions] Skye and Skyler
These seem like some of the ultimate 2000s names to me. I think they're trendy but also kind of nice.What do you think of Skye? Do you prefer Sky or Skye and for which gender?How would you spell Skyler? Skylar? Schuyler? Boy or girl?What about Skyla? Skylee?Thanks!

Skye feels like a hippy name, and is far from my style, but I prefer it to Sky, as I like the association with the Scottish isle. It's a feminine name, IMO.The only spelling I like is Schuyler, and I see it as strictly masculine.Skyla and Skylee are silly and flimsy.

My daughter is named Skye (Skye Louise) so of course I love it.

I’ve always loved the names Skye / Sky, for a girl. I prefer Sky, because it just references the sky more easily for me, which is what I like about it. I think I like Skylar the best out of the various options, but I much prefer just Sky. Skyla and Skylee are too trendy and not for me.

I like Skye for a girl, and love Skylar for a girl and Skyler for a boy.
I dislike both Skyla and Skylee, they both feel like they’re trying too hard

I like Skye alright, like Isle of Skye, for a girl. It isn't usable for me though. Never liked Skyler.I didn't realize it was that trendy.

I prefer Sky for a girl. Skyler seems best. I think of Schuyler as totally different, Skyler and Skylar definitely feel like Sky variants.
Skyla and Skylee are on the "cute" side.
Out of all the variants, Skyla looks easiest to grow into. Skyler and Skylee would always look like names for a kid or teenager IMO.
These names are hard to look at without thinking of other names though. Kyler, Kyla, Kylee, Shyla, Shylee

I agree with you, I like Skye more than Skyler. I think it's nicer as a quasi-nature name than a quasi-surname name. I'd spell Skyler like Schuyler and prefer it on a guy - that's more my style - but Skye is my favorite of the names.Skyla is still more honest than Skyler, and I might like it a little more. Skylar is ugly and it doesn't relate to the Tyler, Carter, etc. names that Skyler is the true sibling of.Skylee be dumb.
