Kalani is really neat! I'm really enjoying Hawaiian names at the moment. I would have assumed female.
Skylar and Kalani...hmm..well there is the similar attribute of both being fairly gender neutral. They both also feel very youthful to me. I don't mind the sibset.

I like it. I'd assume it was female. I think it sounds cute and a little exotic but manageable. It reminds me of names like Leilani and Kali. I can see it with nns like Kali, Kala, and Lani.

I think Skylar is too tame for Kalani. They both sound fairly modern, like kids who would be in the same class, but compared to Kalani Skylar is very boring and a little too... "white" maybe? (I don't know how to say this without sounding racist...) This depends on where you live, of course, but to me it just sounds very bland and expected next to Kalani, which is very uncommon and feels more colorful and exotic.

I think of both genders. I actually thought of a male first because the Kalani I met was male, and it reminded me of him. I also knew a girl with the middle name Kalani.

I like Skylar for a boy, and Kalani for either gender. They work as sibling names.
