Anyone think this name might be due a revival? Heard a lady in a shop today saying to her toddler 'no Sylvia, don't touch' and it made me turn and look as it's such a rare name to hear nowadays (she was gorgeous by the way)

It's a very MN name but I've never actually seen one in the wild.

I loooove this name! It makes me think of sunny, frosty, winter mornings.

Yes it's a pretty sounding name. I think it's long overdue a comeback.

I don't know any bit I wouldn't be at all surprised to meet one. I think it's lovely.

There's a 4 month old Sylvia at one of the groups we go to. I think Sylvie is starting to make a comeback, its on our list for next baby.
