[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on the name Saylor for a girl?
in reply to a message by Guest
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.
