Help[Opinions] Skye (m)
in reply to a message by Lily
Sky is a close second. Skye distinguishes it as a name rather than just a word, plus I think it looks slightly better with the E on the end.
I personally think Schuyler is very masculine. I much prefer if for a boy but it is usable for a girl. Skyler and Skylar are better for girls than Schuyler but I still prefer them for a boy. I went to school with a Schuyler from Kindergarten - 5th grade. He was a bully and he always teased me the most. Though now that I'm older I do wonder if he could have had a crush on me and just had no idea how to express it / maybe didn't want anyone to know it.
Also my surname is Schuyler without the Y. But if you look at my genealogy my ancestors constantly changed the spelling back and forth to having and not having the Y. My ancestors were German and had a very different pronunciation of this surname. It is pronounced like the word shoe with lur added on the end, so basically shoe-LUR. It does not have the pretty Sky sound to it. If you name a kid Schuyler, German people or people unfamiliar with the Dutch pronunciation may mispronounce it.
