Sylvia?

Is it too old-fashioned?

Middle name will be Ruby. Surname is one syllable - along lines of Jones, Barnes etc.

I was actually saying the other day I like Sylvie. Don't think I'm brave enough to pick it though.

Beautiful name!

SallyWD · 21/11/2018 14:50

One of my favourite names. Beautiful.

Valkarie · 21/11/2018 14:54

Love it, was on the girl list but had boys.

pinkcardi · 21/11/2018 14:54

Love it and was on our list.

Also like Sylvie

BeansMeansFun · 21/11/2018 15:02

I adore it. Dh uses veto because of that bloody song. Like anyone of our kids gen will know and reference the song.

onlyconnect · 21/11/2018 15:17

I think it's beautiful

statetrooperstacey · 21/11/2018 15:51

Love it.

Disfordarkchocolate · 21/11/2018 15:53

Sylvia and Sylvie are both lovely.

DeezMutts · 21/11/2018 15:53

I love it and also Sylvie.

Belindabauer · 21/11/2018 16:57

Great name. It's a family name so I would have used it if I had had another child.

VictoriaBun · 21/11/2018 16:59

Yes go for it. I'm too old now but if I were having a girl she would be Sylvia Grace.

Ploppymoodypants · 21/11/2018 17:00

Lovely name. Was on ‘our list’.
However is very popular here at the moment (south west) and I know quite a few under 3 years.
So no it’s not old fashioned, but I think it’s on it’s way to being the new Olivia, Millie, Ellie etc. All lovely names though, so if you don’t mind that go for it. It’s fab x

bridgetreilly · 21/11/2018 17:00

I do like Sylvia, but I'm not keen on Sylvia Ruby.

thegreylady · 21/11/2018 17:07

There is a gorgeous 4 year old Sylvie at our primary school. I don’t know any others.

TheMagician · 21/11/2018 17:09

I like Sylvie but my French friend gave it the thumbs down.

stellarfox · 21/11/2018 17:38

I love Sylvie

InfantaSybilla · 21/11/2018 18:10

I've come across a few young Sylvia's/Sylvies over the past 3 years in fact two were at the same baby sensory class I attended which still blows my tiny mind. I don't get the love for it. It's my mums generation so I associate Sylvia's with Diane's, Gills and Wendy's.

Racecardriver · 21/11/2018 18:11

Makes me think of Sylvia Plath do not great. But if the connection doesn’t bother you then why not.

Esspee · 21/11/2018 18:13

Sylvia Ruby is an awkward combination to my mind.

TheMagician · 21/11/2018 18:16

Sylvia Ruth flows better.

MrsMarigold · 21/11/2018 18:19

I loved it when I was pregnant now I don't know why but I can't stand it.

PeroniZucchini · 21/11/2018 18:21

I like it but love Sylvie

Sophronia · 21/11/2018 20:21

I like it.

DramaAlpaca · 21/11/2018 20:25

I like it. Sylvia Ruby is very nice.
