I love Sibyl. I considered it for dd2

Sybil and Sybilla seem to have been popular in the 14th and 15th Centuries so I’d say that spelling is fairly well entrenched by now.
Rather pretty and I prefer it to some of the other “old” names now coming back into fashion such as Maude and Constance and Ethel

You could even have the spelling Sibella.

Sybil.

Sibyl puts me in mind of Chernobyl due to the ending.
