HelpRe: Do these nicknames work? *edited*
in reply to a message by Lily
All of these nn work in my opinion. And I think that they are great nn choices.
I prefer Sky over Schuy. Though I also prefer Skyler. Schuyler should be pronounced SHOO-ler in my opinion. But I have that opinion since it is a family surname from my Dutch / German side of the family. It's all very confusing since they were from an area where German was spoken but it was part of the Netherlands but near the border with what would later be Germany. They moved to America just a little bit after the Netherlands became called the Netherlands. But after either WW1 or WW2 it became part of Germany so if you went there now it would be Germany. The German pronunciation was SHOO-ler and throughout my family history they have changed back and forth between the spellings Schuyler and Schuler.
I also prefer Ari over Aari.
