[Opinions] Re: Schuyler?
in reply to a message by Lily8
It can be both feminine and masculine, I suppose, but there are a fair number of male Schuylers/Skylers/Skylars out there, which might lead one to see it as being a more masculine name. It seems that in the United States, Skyler is the more popular spelling for a boy, and Skylar for a girl. Doesn't look like Schuyler has made the top 1,000 list of baby names in the United States since 1994, and then it came in 974th for boys. It doesn't look like it ever made the list for girls.
The only "famous" Schuyler I can think of was Schuyler Colfax, the 17th Vice President of the United States, and he was male. Which none of this is probably relevant to you since you're not in the States. I'm not sure of any German stats, unfortunately.
This post wasn't a deterrent from using Schuyler/Skyler/Skylar, by the way. Just a random informative post, so to speak.
