I like it but then I'm a fan of Lana Del Rey and it reminds me of that.
Plus i have a Sylvie.

Good name 👍

I love Sylvia (Plath fan!)

I think ray is today's mae and I'm not so keen. Sylvia Rachel however...

Was just coming here to say that Ray/Rae is the new Mae/May, and for that reason, I would avoid it.

Sylvia is lovely.

I like it but think Sylvie Ray scans better?
I think I prefer Sylvie to Sylvia though so it might just be that.

See I'm not keen on Sylvie ray sounds to me like a new kind of radiation.

Love Sylvia, but not ma about Ray. It's ok though, just wouldn't be my first choice.

Ray can be used as a short form of Mireille, and you don't see many of those.
