This is my son's name and I was under the impression that the original dutch spelling is strictly for boys-which was why we went with it, but I could be wrong there. It does get mispronounced but it suits him perfectly and I have run into no other boys with the name (either the Dutch or anglicized spelling). I've run into maybe 3-4 girls named Skylar in the last 7 years but no boys. If you can tolerate its getting mispronounced the first go-around by everyone, they all say (shoo-ler, and not many people seem to know about Schuyler Colfax, etc.) I have found it a very enjoyable name to have used and never get tired of saying it (and we have to say it A LOT!).
