PS I know it’s Sylvie, autocorrect just likes to add an a...

Sylvie is lovely.
They don't follow well together because of the repeated sounds (except for Nora which I don't love).
How about:
Sylvie Leonora
Sylvie Dorothea

Ivy and Esme are cute but so popular...

I like Sylvie best.

PG2018 · 11/11/2019 16:04

Thanks for all the suggestions

Just wondered what people thought of

Sylvie Florence

Or

Nora(h) Esme

Love Nora, ivy and sylvie
I know a few Esme's at my daughters school.
Both names you've just posted are lovely or Nora florence
Nora sylvie

Lovely options!
I know Nora is becoming more popular, but just personally I struggle with it being a 'Granny' name... It goes beautifully as a middle name though?

Ivy Nora
Esme Nora
Sylvie Esme (Es-may? )

Sylvie Florence is nice too...
I'm not sure if this has helped much, but I think they go nicely together! 😊

Obviously I don't know how long your surname is, but you might need to think about the amount of syllables as the top options have two and if it is two, two, two it will sound odd.

I think Ivy Nora is best from your first list although I agree with pp that Nora is better with the h added.
I don't like Esme at all.
I would rather use Florence Sylvie than the other way around.

Sylvie Florence is stunning!

DramaAlpaca · 11/11/2019 23:12

Sylvie Florence is really lovely.

Nora(h) is such a dowdy, unattractive name, IMO.

Jossina · 11/11/2019 23:17

Esme is my favourite. Sylvie if it was a nn for Sylvia or Sylviana etc.

@PG2018

Nora(h) Esme is GORGEOUS! Wish it was my name x
