Hi,
What's your opinion on the name Sylvie? Do you know any?
Sylvie has been front runner for a while but having a wobble now I'm close to my due date...

How lovely.

BeardMinge · 31/05/2016 20:28

It's my daughter's middle name. I love it, it's so chic and makes me think of all things French, and Sylvie Guillem of course.

Natsku · 30/05/2016 20:44

I have loved it ever since I read Sylvie and Bruno as a child!

sidonie1 · 30/05/2016 20:39

I think it's so so pretty

signalred · 30/05/2016 20:35

Awwww bloody love it

Purplelooby · 30/05/2016 20:19

I have a 2 year old Sylvia and I still adore the name. She gets called Sylvie by various family members and it does sound gorgeous. I've not met any other Sylvia's but I've met one Sylvie.

Kittykatmacbill · 30/05/2016 18:48

It's lovely was definitely on the list for dd2, but it sounds odd with our surname...

Don't know any, I think I met one who was German I think!

chocoLit · 29/05/2016 20:04

I LOVE it, wanted Sylvana nn Sylvie for one of DDs but wasn't to be

NotYoda · 29/05/2016 19:49

It's lovely

I know of one (teenager)

I also like Sylvia

Sgtmajormummy · 27/05/2016 16:38

I have a Silvia. Elegant, strong and timeless.
I considered Lydia for similar reasons. Smile

pinocchiosnose · 27/05/2016 16:30

I know a baby Sylvie. Lovely name

pilates · 27/05/2016 16:28

I like it.

PrincessPlod · 26/05/2016 22:27

I like that too but Dh isn't keen, never likes any of the names I suggest

PterodactylToenails · 24/05/2016 19:59

I really like it.

dodobookends · 23/05/2016 21:48

Sylvie is lovely. The only one I know of is Sylvie Guillem, the French ballerina.

NataliaOsipova · 23/05/2016 21:46

Always makes me think of Sylvie Guillem - in my opinion, the greatest ballerina of all time. Love it!

YellowPirate · 23/05/2016 21:43

I think it's lovely, this one will be Sylvie if it's a girl. Never met one. X

waxweasel · 23/05/2016 08:52

I love Sylvie! It was on my shortlist but DH didn't like it. It would have suited 4 week old DD too because she's got bright red hair and looks like a little squirrel creature.

nectarini1983 · 22/05/2016 13:57

What a lovely refreshing change from Isla/ Izzy/ Ellie/ Lily etc. Congratulations!

Porcupinetree · 22/05/2016 10:00

My mother in law is called Sylvie.

GoldPlatedBacon · 22/05/2016 08:04

I'm not a huge fan of it but that's because Sylvie/Sylvia was the name of a lot of my friends' parents so to me it's in the 'sandra/Linda' group. However, it is popular where I am, there are two Sylvias and a Sylvie at a baby group I go to plus a 3/4 year old Sylvie at another play group. Actually, it's the only girls name that is repeated at baby groups I attend which is odd as statistically it's not that popular

Borogoves · 22/05/2016 08:04

I know a Sylvie named after her granny Sylvia. I like it.

lostlalaloopsy · 22/05/2016 08:01

It is beautiful!! I love it, but DH wasn't keen for dd2. I was just thinking the other day it would have so suited her.

mrsschu · 22/05/2016 07:57

I know 2 Sylvie's, both under 18 months so I would say it's getting popular (around London anyway). It's ok IMO.

Suzietwo · 22/05/2016 07:49

I know a 4 year old Sylvie. I prefer Sylvia but like both
