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

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

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.
