Name decided - to MIL's disgust.

[cupcake30]

So our daughter finally arrived 10 days late in the car park outside the hospital! Thank you to everyone on here who helped us to choose her name, which we love. She will be Sylvie and registered as Sylvia. We just ran it by my MIL who hates it and was very rude about the whole thing. Mainly because she had already decided we were calling her Martha and has been banging on about it for months. Trouble is we don't like it!
Now we need a middle name to go with Sylvia so we can officially announce her name and drive it home to MIL that she's not getting her way. Any help with this? Nothing too popular please and also we think one syllable names work best with Sylvia. Xx

I have a more complicated version in that i have two alternatives in use plus my real name. Brother, parents, DH all use a different one!

Love Sylvia -- was on my list but did not go with surname. You could go a long middle name
Sylvia Penelope
Sylvia felicity
Sylvia Josephine
Sylvia astrid

Whatever works for you squoosh

Thanks so much.

I have one name - I'd have liked two but my parents couldn't be arsed picking another - biter but you can't tell

I think Sylvia Anne would be lovely, and goes well together.
Closely followed by Sylvia Rose.
Or how about Sylvia Beth?
As for your MIL telling you what names you should have. Completely ignore, it's YOUR baby and YOUR decision!

I think either a one syllable short name, or a longer 3 syllable name go best. Sylvia Wren and Sylvia Joy are beautiful.

Sylvia Grace is gorgeous. Sylvia Joy is lovely, too.

'Who is Silvia? what is she' is gorgeous, have never come across it before. I'd love for there to be such a gorgeous poem about my name!

Squoosh I googled poetry and my name and it came up with 'no results' (The Silvia one is Mr Shakespeare (hence spelling ))
