Any thoughts on the name Sylvie? Smile

For me it’s indelibly linked to Sylvia Plath.

villainousbroodmare · 17/03/2018 14:25

Love it.

Sylvia is dreadful. Makes me think of Beverley and similar names. A dark-haired Liz McDonald type in a red polyester satin blouse and a fake leather too tight pencil skirt.
I think of Sylvie as French - maybe it is prettier in a French accent. Strangely, I know an Italian lady called Silvia and in her accent, her name is pretty.
Generally, a No from me.

I prefer Sylvia! Beautiful name.

NebularNerd · 17/03/2018 14:28

I like Sylvie but not keen on Sylvia. To me, they sound totally different and have different associations!

I quite like it although it's a bit modern for me. I also like Sylvia. Both nice.

I like it and love Sylvia.

Love it!

I have a Sylvia, we call her Sylvie interchangeably and sometimes Vee. Love the meaning 'of the forest'. Great nature name with old-lady chic.

Speedy85 · 17/03/2018 14:41

I really like both Sylvia and Sylvia but can’t use them as we already have someone in the family named Sylvia.

Speedy85 · 17/03/2018 14:42

*Sylvia and Sylvie

Damn autocorrect

DramaAlpaca · 17/03/2018 14:43

LastNightsMakeUp · 17/03/2018 14:48

My dd’s name is a little French also so works well

NotAgainYoda · 17/03/2018 15:19

Lovely. I think of it as one of the many elegant French girls' names. I also like Sylvia

IHaveBrilloHair · 17/03/2018 15:23

Too cutesy for me, and sort of all running into one with the current Ellie/Millie/Lily/Elsie etc trend.

MammieBear · 17/03/2018 15:23

Sweet name

daisypond · 17/03/2018 15:26

I like it. I also like Sylvia - all the ones I know are about age 30 and are very glamorous German or Polish women.

chocatoo · 17/03/2018 15:26

One of the few on here that I like...

MrsEricBana · 17/03/2018 15:27

Oh it's beautiful!

AntiHop · 17/03/2018 15:58

Love it. Love sylvia even more.

NebularNerd · 17/03/2018 16:00
