Hi,
We aren’t sure if we are having a boy or girl yet, we have a boys name but really struggling with a girls name.
I want baby girls middle name to be Mary after my nan, what do we think of Sylvie as a first name?
It’s my fiancé’s Nan’s name and I know it would mean a lot to him but is it a bit too old fashioned? My younger sister has a very old fashioned name as she was born just as my grandad died and it was after him and I know she’s hated it her whole life and I don’t want to do that to a baby haha.

So what do we reckon to Sylvie?
