ArchivesRe: How to pronounce the name Schuyler
in reply to a message by Kim
It is Dutch in origin, but it's usage as a first name is exclusively (?) Anglo-Saxon. As for the original pronunciation, it sounds something like [skhowler] - you can listen to a person from the Netherlands saying it in this page (just search for "Schuyler"): http://www.heardutchhere.net/dureq.html
The other spellings are influenced by the word sky - so they could in theory be interpreted as a different name all together (much like Skyla, Skylie, and so on).
~ isla, sophie, embla, zephyra, vida, clementine, swanhilda, calliope, magnhild, salomé ~
~ rémi, archer, louis, aurelian, pollux, lucan, storm, henry, nicodemus, maximilian ~
