Sylvia

[Cantrip]

Not getting very far with name options for a girl. Husband has suggested Sylvia. I certainly don’t hate it in the way I have other names he’s come up with. Think I quite like the nickname Sylvie. What do people think? Too old/middle-aged, or ripe for revival?

Beautiful.

I think it is lovely, as is Sylvie

Sylvia is brilliant, a lovely name and more substantial than Sylvie. You can always have Sylvie as nickname too.

Classic and underused.

Beautiful

Love love love.

Horrible.

Beautiful, one of my favourite names! I'm just surprised it's not more popular.

I love it

Lovely.

Sylvie is one of my favourite names, it's beautiful. Not quite as keen on Slyvia, it's a touch harsher.

It's my middle name, and was my aunt's name too. I hated it as a child, but rather like it now. It's unusual, but not weird.

I love it!

I love Sylvie, not too keen on Sylvia. What a difference one letter makes!

Lovely. I know a nine year old Sylvia, and it really suits her.

Beautiful name.

Love it. It's a fantastic name.

Pretty - also like Sylvia for nn

One I wouldn't have thought of but now it's in my head it's really nice. Suits all ages I think.

I love it! If ds has been a girl he would be Sylvia. It means ‘from the forest’, which is lovely. Plus, my favourite poet is Sylvia Plath.

Really lovely name.

Jeez what is it with all these horribly dated names. Yesterday Elaine, now this.

Just because a name is 'old' or 'dated' doesn't mean it s not beautiful!

I love the sound and look of Sylvia! Works great in most other languages too!

Awful. But strangely, Sylvie sounds much nicer to me

I prefer just Sylvie, seems less old ladyish
