Silver is not 'a version' of Sylvia or Sylvie.
It's a metal.
Sylvia (etc) come from a Latin word meaning 'woodland' or 'forest'. So 'Sylvia' = lady of the trees'.

My niece is called Sylva and I think it's really pretty. Not so sure about Taffetta but like Tabitha

Only1scoop · 15/09/2014 12:07

Thora and Tabitha are both nice.

Silver and Taffeta pretty awful....especially with Tilly

Taff n Till
Sil n Till Confused

Oops, Thora, not Torah! Autocorrect gone religious...

Linguaphile · 15/09/2014 11:12

Torah is good.

Tabitha is 'meh' but normalish, so no raised eyebrows there.

The other two are awful.

I see you've ruled out Taffetta. I think that's a good move. It's not even a nice fabric.

Thora and Tabitha are lovely. Thora maybe a bit better with Tilly. Tabby and Tilly is a bit similar sounding. And whilst both names are nice on their own, they suddenly sound like a pair of kittens to me.

Silver isn't to my taste, but is ok.

woahmummaaa · 15/09/2014 08:09

Silver is a cool name I love it! No one over 50 would be able to relate to that choice though.

TabbyTurmoil · 15/09/2014 08:04

I love Thora, it was on my list but DH nixed it along with almost everything else

BikeRunSki · 15/09/2014 07:13

Tara ?

Eastpoint · 15/09/2014 07:09

I actually know sisters called Tilly & Tabitha, they are 15 & 17 now. Their Tilly is short for Matilda. I know other Tillys, one has a Madeleine (known as Maddy) & Rebecca (known as Beccy) as her sisters.

Oriunda · 15/09/2014 06:56

Silvestra?

marymouse · 14/09/2014 20:17

I met a four yr old silver on holiday, her little sister had a top ten name which I found abit odd.
Maybe her parents realised silver wasnt a proper name and tried to redeem themselves?

Ticklemonster897 · 14/09/2014 09:14

Sylvie is stunning

DontPutMeDownForCardio · 14/09/2014 07:01

I like silver but wouldn't use it- night go for sylvia or sylvie though! Taffyta is the name of a character in wreck it Ralph. .. It kind of works as a name but I wouldn't use it. Thora is nice and unusual. I like tabitha from your list - tabby and tilly is cute.

MalibuStacy · 14/09/2014 05:20

Sorry, I typed too many 'b's...

MalibuStacy · 14/09/2014 05:20

Tilly & Tabbby. Yeah, I'd go for Tabitha. Although I agree that Thora is cool...

Britishseamonkey · 14/09/2014 04:43

I know a little Silva, think it's also a place in Italy? Feels more ' namey' than silver while still being the same sound iyswim?

Frikadellen · 13/09/2014 20:33

I like Silver as a name/ Thora is ok (Scandinavian myeslf so its fairly normal for me) never did care for Tabitha myself and not keen on Taffetta either

Rtfairy · 13/09/2014 20:19

Tabitha is lovely, Tilly and Tabitha Smile

jazzyjenbo · 13/09/2014 19:31

Not read all the posts but i actually dont mind any of these... Ive heard much worse.
I know a silver... She is a beautiful 1 yr old.

GertrudeBrisket · 13/09/2014 02:20

How about Sylvie instead of Silver?

itsbetterthanabox · 13/09/2014 02:12

Thora and Silver are nice names.

Sophronia · 13/09/2014 01:47

Tabitha or Thora are nice, but I don't like the other two.

almapudden · 13/09/2014 01:16

I like thora. What about Tacita?

HerRoyalNotness · 13/09/2014 00:48

moomin I'm glad you said Breeze, I forgot how much I liked it, you should have used it! I had a boss with a DD by that name, I really like the way it sounds, I've put it on our potential MN list. DH probably won't go for it though.
