Skyler / Skylar
I had a childhood friend with this name so I have fond memories of it. Funny how that impacts how much people like a name 
I think it's a cute name.
My friend with this name was a boy; do you consider it male/female? I think it's pretty unisex. What is the correct spelling?

I like Skyler better and for a girl. It's not my favorite, but the nickname Sky is cute. I just worry about it not aging well. I don't really see attorney Skyler Jones (or insert whatever last name you want).

I like it (more for a girl) but I don't like that there are multiple ways to spell it. I've also seen it with a CH in there. I don't like confusing spellings.
It reminds me of The wife in Breaking Bad now but I had heard it before.
I also once knew a Skye (girl).

The only Skylars I know are girls. I think it's cute, but personally not my naming style.

I've only known it for a girl. It's pretty trendy (according to SSA it was in the 100s since the year 2000 and was all the way up to 48 in 2014). I think it's pretty and cute for a little girl, but totally agree with @Mrs. Peanut: -I don't think it will age well.

@Foodnerd81: I thought of breaking bad too. I like the name though! I totally think girl when I hear it.

Not a fan specifically because I can't tell if it's a boy or a girl.

@Mrs. Pen: I like it! I think of it as gender neutral and that's in part why I like it . I like the nn Sky also

I like skylar and for a girl. I think it's because a high school classmate has one and she's adorable!

I think it can be pretty unisex but trends a bit more girly. But I don't think the name ages well at all.

I knew amale Skylar as a kid and I wasn't a fan of him, so I'm not a big fan, but I think of it as a male name.

I think it's cute. I prefer the -ar spelling and think it's a girls name.

@Mrs. J: I thought he was Sylar.
It's cute, but not my style. I don't like many unisex names though.

It's unisex, but I'm leaning more towards a girl's name. I like it, but wouldn't use it personally.

It's a unisex name to me. I know both a little girl and boy named Skyler.

I put this in the category of it's cute for a kid but can't see it working for an adult. Although, I say that about a lot of names nowadays so I guess we'll all be used to it by then.

@coopsmama: Same. I have a cousin named Schuyler that's pronounced the same.
