Sylvie Elise

Think we’re finally set on the name Sylvie for DD.

DH loves the name Elise for a first name but I’m not in love with it, however I think we could compromise and maybe use as a middle name.

Do you like the combination? Or is it too French?

Thanks x

What about Elvie?

I love it. They’re two of my favourite names.

Very pretty !

I love it. We are also thinking Sylvie or Sylvia. But the latter reminds me too much of Sylvia Plath which is a bit sad. I don’t think you can be too French.

Lovee the name Elise! Prefer Elise to Sylvie to be honest. However, I do think Sylvie Elise sounds lovely.

SpanxOnLetsGo · 04/05/2018 13:17

Both beautiful names. Go for it!

Sylvie is pretty. Elise is quite nice with it too.

It’s not teally french and in case I agree, can never be too french!

Sylvie Elise is beautiful

Very,very pretty!

I find it a bit of a mouthful, tbh. The Eee-Eh combination when you say them together is tricky. But the names are very pretty.

Auntyirene · 04/05/2018 17:05

I'd much rather be called Elise than Sylvie

thetriangleisarealinstrument · 04/05/2018 17:08

Love Sylvie! Think Sylvie Elise is very pretty.

It doesn't roll of the tongue easily imo. Sylvia is less twee.
