Re: Skyler?
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
I think Skyler is more feminized than Skylar, but Skylar looks like it's trying too hard and not phonetic, so I think Skyler is still better for a boy. And I'm guessing most people naming girls sky-names would still go for Sky or Skye anyway (?).
I do see the feminine thing, but that's why I like it on a boy. Kyler isn't feminized and Skyler isn't that different, but Kyler sounds douchey like Kyle and Skyler sounds trendy but still friendly, I guess. (Not all 'feminine' vibes are 'friendly' vibes, but in the case of Skyler I think it is.)
