i remember dana posting an announcement of schuyler's birth and providing her email address in case anyone had any questions or things to pass along to the rum-huds. my first question: how do you PRONOUNCE that? hehe :) now it seems pretty obvious...
Thanks. I've been reading your blog for about a year now(and can't wait for your book!) and wasn't sure on how to pronounce Schuyler's name. Adorable photo. Colleen from IL
Heh! Yeah, it's not pronounced quuuuuuuuite the way it looks - what language is that spelling from, anyway? Not that I know where "Skylar" comes from either...
Schuyler is Dutch (thus the Sch- as "k" rather than the German "sh"), it means "scholar". Skylar and Skyler are modern variations. It was once primarily a boy's name, but I think now it's more popular with girls, "popular" obviously being a subjective term.
Sissy Spacek and Michael J. Fox both have daughters named Schuyler.
I knew how to pronouce it, but never knew it meant "scholar." Awesome.
When I click on your [u]weird coincidence[/u] link, I get invited to start my own blog. I'm thinking that's probably not where that was supposed to take me...?
She is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou mean it's not Schoooo-ler? Just kidding. I love her name.
