Naming our second is proving hard with myself and DH changing our minds every day/not agreeing!
I have one dd named Phoebe and quite like the name Sylvie for our next pink bundle due in 1 week. Does it sound to similar? Also like Ava (I know popular but we like it),Matilda, Elizabeth, Esme & Holly.
Opinions gratefully received please!
Thanks

I think it's a really lovely name but it does sound quite samey. Not as bad as someone I know though who has an Amelie and a Lily. I vote for Elizabeth too. Lovely as it is and has some good abbreviation possiblities too.

Sylvie is beautiful.

I adore the name Sylvie - we knew a wonderful French Syvlie who was beautiful and a wonderful dancer. Very distinctive and classy is my opinion.

I also love Elizabeth. It has always been a huge favourite of mine and I don't know a single child of that name.

I like it. It's not too similar to Phoebe imo. I also like Elizabeth - there aren't many little Lizzies about yet it's timeless. The other names are lovely but they're two a penny where I am.
