I named my son Skylar. I heard the name when I was in high school and fall in love with it. When I had my son, I named him Skylar. He was born in 2004. Where we live now it seems to be a common name for boys and girls.
We have named our beautiful Boxer dog Skyler and she is loved by all who meet her, especially her boyfriend dog Klitschko who is three years younger. Yes, she is a cougar and she definitely dominates him. She will be 6 in April.
