Honestly it's looks like a lazy way of saying Skylar. And it's birth control, so that's ironic.

I personally think Skyla is a pretty name, but the IUD ruins it for me.
Paige_Mackenzie Says:
The first thing that comes up when you search Skyla is that new IUD that they've been advertising on T.V. I've always thought this name sounded incomplete. Go with Skyler/Skylar/Schuyler instead.

I don't think it does. The English -er ending is more closed than an -a.

No, English people don't pronounce er as a an ah. They say er just like Anericans do, but a little less emphasized. I could say Americans pronounce Skylar like Skeye-lerrrrrr. You might be saying an English person as in a Londoner, which then I would agree with you.
