Spoken aloud, Skylar is brisk and energetic, with sharp edges that give it a fire-like spark.

In U.S. birth records Skylar has been given to both girls and boys, so it works for any child.

The Saju view

The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Skylar it is metal, made against the teeth. Names that sound like Skylar are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. Skylar supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. If fire is already strong in a chart, Skylar ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
