I love it
Stick with Sadie or Taylor.
For some reason I picture Old Navy if I hear this name. No clue why.

Big no. It's not good for a girl or boy. It's barely okay for a pet. And it looks like a cheap, cre8ive spelling of sailor, so again, no.
I think it’s pretty like Taylor.
Same as Sailor: addressing someone as Sailor is silly to me, like the kind of ccome-on a certain type of woman would use in a bar, especially one near a naval base or shipping terminal.
"Hello Sailor" is something that I think few people born after ~1990 might recognize. I also thought of it. I don't think it's relevant anymore, like for someone named Saylor in 2024 - but (just to inform anyone who might think you're reaching) it was a very well-known idiom, a cliche even, in the age of television and Hollywood.

Also there are negative idioms about sailors as vulgar - cussing, drinking alcohol, and spending money "like a sailor"
But I think right now, most people hear "Sailor" and just think "Sailor Moon," and if it's "for a girl" they picture an anime girl.
When the fad is done I think it'll have about the same image as Shelby, Taylor, Madison, Piper etc, and eventually like Beverly, Tracy, Kimberly, Courtney ... because that's what style of name I think it is.

just a couple years ago ...
I saw a photo in a National Geographic of a Polish woman who looked about twenty or so, and she had HI SAILOR tattooed on her eyelids.

Chilling
But National Geographic, haha

Not a fan, it sounds childish.
Hate it. Looks foolish, sounds silly.
I like it! I've seen so many people labeling it as a misspelled word, when it has a completely separate meaning from "sailor". Saylor comes from an English surname meaning "dancer, acrobat", which I think has a much better meaning than "sailor" And unlike Saylor, Taylor actually is a "misspelled occupation/word", and yet no one would bat an eye when meeting a Taylor. The name Taylor may well have sounded strange when it first became popular, but people got used to it, and due to Saylor's increasing popularity (number 207 in 2022), I feel it may well be the same. I've seen a few little girls named Saylor, and they all seemed really sweet. Sometimes it seems that people will hate on anything popular.
I agree. Well I don’t like it very much, but it’s not a misspelling, it’s a legit surname.
She'd be spelling it out on a daily basis, all her life. Tweaking the spelling doesn't make it less of a word-name meaning 'Someone who sails'. If that is important in the family, then rather use Sailor and preferably keep it as a mn.
It’s a word so it has a correct spelling, and that spelling is sailor.
Genuinely cannot imagine it on anyone older than 12.

Don't like it at all, especially for a girl
I think it's cute, but the word "sailor" is not flattering and that is ultimately what I think of upon hearing and seeing it.
It's like Taylor / Sawyer smushed.
In real life I think it would quickly become just like Taylor.
I don't care for it, but it's not the worst. I think Sawyer seems a bit more dignified, if I had to choose.
Saylor also reminds me a little bit of Piper and Navy - a "vintage travel" aesthetic, that has been sanitized of gender.
Saylor : Taylor :: Hadley : Hayley :: Parker (or Palmer) : Piper :: Harlow : Harper
