Kyler
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.
