While some people apparently don't like the name,
in reply to a message by sky
I personally love it! It indeed is rich in meaning as well as beauty. I also like the way it almost sounds like skylark. As an aspiring science fiction writer I like to use names in a way that plays on their meaning. Skylar would be a great name for a scholar/scientist, and then the phonetic association to Skylab wouldn't be such a bad thing!
