Sylvie?? Anyone??

So, I've mentioned this name to quite a few people now and they have all reacted - with the exception of one - as if I've suggested calling my baby penis-head. Is it really that bad?

It would be Sylvie Anne and my 3 syllable surname. I think it is so sweet for a baby but would also grow with her (not that I even know whether I'm having a girl yet, although I might do in 2 weeks time!). It's not ridiculously strange IMO but it's also unusual enough not to be heard being called in every playground/street. That happened with my daughters name (Caitlin) 16 years ago. It seemed relatively uncommon at the time (and has family connections for me) but a year later there seemed to be millions of them.

What do people think??

I love the name Sylvie - it is pretty and sweet and smart

Don't tell people your baby name ideas, they love to trash them. If you wait till baby is named, they have to swallow their rude remarks and say how lovely.

Which it is. Truly.

Oh. just saw the boy bit. Don't call him Sylvie!
