Dear Americans, what’s the deal with the name “Skylar”?
Conversation
wolframalpha reports a peak around 1999 and another peak around 2016. wiki reports there was a skylar in baywatch (1997), good will hunting (1997), and breaking bad (2008-2013). wiki also reports it's a variant of "schuyler" which i did not know!

Wow. Fascinating to situate origin of that particular spelling in the 80s. Def has a certain wolf of Wall Street / I love quaaludes energy to it
