Meaning
modern blend of Kyle and Tyler
The story
Kyler is Kyle and Tyler shaken together, as our meaning records say plainly, and the record shows exactly when the cocktail was mixed: about 900 in the 1980s, then 6,900 in the 1990s, the decade both parent names crowded the top of the charts, then 12,300, then 13,600 in the 2010s, with 7,500 so far this decade. A blend is a coinage with visible seams, and the seams are the appeal: familiar from both directions, new as a whole, the same trick Zayden's rhyme-family played with different letters. In our records it goes to boys about 39,000 to 2,400. Whether Kyler reads as its own name or as its parents' echo in thirty years is the standing bet all blends make; the record can only say that three decades in, it is still being chosen ten thousand times a decade, which is more than most originals manage.

Births registered in South Australia (not all of Australia) by first name and year of registration, 1944–2017, from the state’s Births, Deaths and Marriages registry, which publishes every name down to a single birth in capitals; a spelling its export repeats inside a year is counted once, and from 2018 only a top 100 is published, so the series ends at 2017.

Not on the record in Spain, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only).
