I am looking for a name that isn't super popular but isn't too unique either, but nothing is jumping out at me, and I want a name that I love.

Any help appreciated.

Any thoughts OP ?

Sylvie is my favourite at the moment, although loads of good suggestions, a lot I feel either don't go with surname, can't use because of friends or just too out there for me.

Just need a middle name now 😉

Sylvia is lovely. I'm also liking Daphne at the moment and I know a very cool 2yr old by that name.

Just nb.from your earlier post, a viva is a long scary verbal exam you undertake when you get a higher degree like a doctorate...

Like Sylvie though Smile
Rose is nice but extremely popular as a middle name and may date her to being born around this time. Maybe another middle name would be more timeless?
