Sylvie?

[Smoores]

Hi,
We aren’t sure if we are having a boy or girl yet, we have a boys name but really struggling with a girls name.
I want baby girls middle name to be Mary after my nan, what do we think of Sylvie as a first name?
It’s my fiancé’s Nan’s name and I know it would mean a lot to him but is it a bit too old fashioned? My younger sister has a very old fashioned name as she was born just as my grandad died and it was after him and I know she’s hated it her whole life and I don’t want to do that to a baby haha.

So what do we reckon to Sylvie?

I've always loved it.

I like it. Go for it.

Lots of children born right now have old-fashioned names. Sylvie won't stick out in a bad way.

I prefer Sylvia. It's more rounded and grown up. Sylvia Mary sounds better than Sylvie Mary which is a bit sing-song.

I love Sylvie but I don't think it goes with Mary. If you had Sylvie Maria or Silvia Mary, I think it would flow better.
