HelpRe: Skylar
in reply to a message by Elinor
It sounds ridiculously twee to me, personally--and where I live, Skylar would blend in perfectly with the Aidan-Jayden-Caden crowd.
Boy:
Skylar Nicolas / Nicholas~ I prefer Skylar Nicholas, though I'm generally a no-H person. I don't like either name, and together, the R-N middle is a bit hard to say.
Skylar Connell~ I like Connell, I think, and it'd be neat with Skylar if they didn't both have K sounds in their beginnings.
Skylar Stephan~ I usually like alliteration, but the S's are too close together and the names have identical rhythms--it's hard to say and doesn't sound nice to me.
Skylar Gabriel~ This is probably my favourite--it's the only one that isn't completely trochaic (SKY-lar STEPH-an and all). It's also easier to say.
Skylar Dallán~ This suffers from many of the same problems as Skylar Connell. Great middle name that makes the combo sound repetitive with Skylar.
Girl:
Skylar Caterina~ Too many K sounds too close together make Array an unhappy girl. I like Caterina (much prefer Katerina), but with Skylar, the combo is harsh-sounding.
Skylar Madoline~ This spelling of Madeline hurts my head a bit, but it's the middle name and thus it doesn't matter. Since Madeline's been so popular as of late, the combo sounds really trendy to me, but it has the best flow thus far.
Skylar Georgiana~ Georgiana keeps the combo from sounding trendy, yes, but it's such a clash of styles that it makes me boggle the way that O in Madoline does. It's not that awful, though.
Skylar Helena~ While I like Helena (especially that pronunciation), I don't think it works with Skylar at all. No matter how it's pronunced, I have a hard time saying Skylar Helena. I think it's the hissing H sound at the beginning that throws off the flow, since Skylar Elena works for me.
