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?

No to Sylvia. Yes to Sylvie

Love Sylvia. Not keen on Sylvie.

I love Sylvia and Sylvie. I know one little Sylvie who is three, I reckon it's on its way back as from the same era as many other fashionable names.

I like Sylvia. It’s better than Sylvie, which is a bit too fairy for me.

In English (and German) Sylvia works best. Beautiful and elegant name.

In French it's Sylvie.

Not sure as it's my mum's name, can't imagine a little baby being called Sylvia, but Sylvie is lovely. If you haven't heard this song by Miike Snow you should listen, it's beautiful

Absolutely beautiful. Classic, underused, elegant. Sylvie is also a lovely nickname.

Love it

I really like it

I really like it.

I've heard a couple of Sylvies young girls. It's gorgeous !

I think it is a lovely, classic name.

Oh I love it!

Does make me hum though.

Love Jarvis!

I like it

Just lovely.

It will get shortened to Syl, Sylve, Sylv, trust me.....I know!

Nope

Love it: due for a revival!

I believe Sylvie is very dated in France.

For me Sylvia is on par with Sue and Sheila

Not to my taste. I think it has to be something you love though to commit to it, and it seems like you only just “don’t hate” it...

I have a Sylvie and get so any compliments on her name. I still absolutely love it

Lovely

Love it . My grandmother was Sylvia and was on list of girls names

Yes go for it . It's a beautiful name . Love it.
