HelpRe: Skylar pr Skyler? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I don't know why, but to me ...
Skyler is totally a guy name, and so is Schuyler. Surnamey. Skyler is a simplified spelling of Schuyler and seems sort of preppy-trendy. Goes with names like Tyler, Dawson, Preston, Fletcher.
But Skylar is totally a gal name, and it "is" Skylark without the k, legitimized by Skyler. Goes with names like - Savanna, Sloane, Sage, Kai, Wren, Sienna. Maybe also Reese, Avery.
I feel like I say them slightly differently. Skylar is like collar, Skyler is like caller ... it may be that the difference can't be heard by someone listening to me say them! but I feel sure that different neurons are firing in my brain when I say them - they feel like different names. It's like the difference between Alex (Alexander / Alexandra) and Alix (Alice).
