Could you let me know how that name plays in the ‘real world’? Reactions you get? Anything positive or negative? Any information would be helpful thank you!
I had a close friend in middle/high school whose little sister’s name was [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. I honestly can’t remember if her first name was actually [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] or not, but everyone called her [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. She would hang out with us all the time and it definitely suited her; I remember always thinking it was a really cute name. It works very well in the real world and I never heard or thought anything negative about her name!
I personally [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] (and have voted that way in your polls). I think it’s beautiful and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is a very pretty nickname that always gets good reactions from what I’ve seen.
Eh. I have had three friends named [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] all this time. They always got positive/neutral reactions as far as I know. At least I can’t remember anything negative.
I know 2 [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]'s … one in her 50’s, one in her 40’s. Both are lovely and dear to me, but have a collection of their own idiosyncrasies.
I find it odd that the name seems to have had such a resurgence, as I find it a bit flat and boring. But perhaps that is just my perception based on the people I know.
