Can you tell me what you think of the name Skylar for a girl? Have you ever known any? DH and I had narrowed it down to two names, but this morning over coffee he brought up that name..I actually think its pretty, and wouldnt mind the nn Sky. What do you think?

I love the name Skylar and think that the nn Skye is very cute.
I have only known on Skylar and it was a boy. I always told him that his mom gave him a girl name :) He always said that he agreed.

Not a big fan - Skyler sounds slightly "hippie-ish" to me. I've only heard the name as a boy's name.


Seeing as how you like unisex names, I'll throw a couple uncommon ones out there that have a simliar sound to Skylar: Kyle and Tyler are gaining as girl's names. I think that, paired with a very feminine middle name, they could sound elegant, and are less common than Avery, Jordan, etc.


Just a thought.

I agree with everyone else! Skylar is a beautiful name. I only know one and she is a girl, about 16. But my hair dresser is expecting a grandson in a few weeks, her daughter and son in law are naming him Skyler, she can't stand the name. She says he will grow up to be a cheerleader. I think most ppl consider Skylar a girl name.

I love the name for a girl. I know one little 4 year old girl in preschool with that name. She is adorable. I call her tinkerbell because she is soooo tiny.

My cousin named her 4 year old daughter Skyler Teague. She's adorable.
