I really, really love the name [name]Sibyl[/name]. I think its so pretty and straight-laced also. I was wondering what middle names would go nicely? I would like something kind of eccentric.
Thanks a ton!
I don’t thinl [name]Sibyl[/name] is bad. I like it’s moldy-oldy style as well as its ancient heritage. Personally I prefer [name]Sybilla[/name] or [name]Sylvie[/name].

Good luck!
I love [name]Sibyl[/name], as you well know. (: However, I do prefer this spelling, even if the [name]Sybil[/name] looks more balanced. [name]Sibyl[/name] is truly lovely and old-fashioned, not to mention stylish to me. Of course I liked the interesting [name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Vane[/name], which is one reason I also like this spelling.
I don’t think [name]Sibyl[/name]'s bad at all! :3
I like it…I had a great aunt [name]Sibyl[/name] whom I thoroughly enjoyed. It would be on my list if I could talk the hubby into it.
I think Siby is a very sweet nickname (or [name]Sybil[/name], nn Sybi).
I can’t get past the association with the movie [name]Sybil[/name], so I couldn’t see using it. It doesn’t have a bad sound, though.
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Sybil[/name]! Or [name]Sibyl[/name], whichever. It’s in the running to go with my [name]Phoebe[/name]. I am in my late 20’s and have never seen the movie, so I think younger generations will not have that bias against it. I think its a really cool, distinctive name.
Ok I wanted to add. PERSONALLY, I think that with a name as unusual is [name]Sibyl[/name], a more conventional mn would work to make it seem more wearable and current. I like
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Clare[/name]
After watching the BBC miniseries Downton [name]Abbey[/name] (where the youngest daughter is named [name]Sibyl[/name]) I started considering [name]Sibyl[/name] again, more seriously. The name [name]Sibley[/name] is significant for my husband and I but I find it a tad last-namey for a girl’s first name. So I like the idea of [name]Sibyl[/name] with [name]Sibley[/name] as a possible nn.
To me, this timeless Greek name is not overused but not unheard of either and it has a sweet sound to the ear. I think the associations with the movie are old enough to not be of any major concern… remember the horror movie titled [name]Carrie[/name]… no one I know avoids naming their girls [name]Caroline[/name]/[name]Carrie[/name]/[name]Kerry[/name] because of it and it is much more recent than the [name]Sibyl[/name] movie.
I find [name]Sibyl[/name] and [name]Phoebe[/name] a perfect sibset! I also like more classic middle names with [name]Sibyl[/name] but nothing too ordinary, [name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] is gorgeous.
I’m definitely on the loving [name]Sibyl[/name] boat and appreciating the views and ideas expressed this post.
I have a [name]Sybil[/name] as a sister. The spelling is different - and I have to admit I prefer it like this - but it’s a wonderful name!
I actually really like [name]Sybil[/name] [name]Claire[/name]!
I love [name]Sibyl[/name]! I think it has a lot going for it: nice sound, somewhat familiar, but still very different. It has got weight without being too heavy or unattractive.
My association is pretty much limited to [name]Sybill[/name] Trelawney, the Divination professor in [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]. This isn’t a negative association for me…that character is just loopy and eccentric. Honestly, I don’t even think that many people would even know that Professor Trelawney’s first name is [name]Sybill[/name] other than some hardcore HP geeks. 
As for middle names:
[name]Harriet[/name]
[name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Georgiana[/name]
[name]Eudora[/name]
[name]Magdalene[/name]
[name]Irena[/name]
[name]Odessa[/name]
[name]Frida[/name]
[name]Winifred[/name]
[name]Theodosia[/name]
[name]Cassia[/name]
[name]Colette[/name]
[name]Florentina[/name]
Sorry for repeats, or any that you find to be downright awful 
Yay, I thought I was the only one who liked [name]Sibyl[/name]. I really like [name]Sybilla[/name] also. No middle name suggestions sorry. is bad at middle names
I really like [name]Sybil[/name]. I like [name]Sybella[/name] too, but it’s just too close to [name]Isabella[/name] which is wildly popular.
[name_f]Sibyl[/name_f] is a beautiful name. It’s got a old-fashioned feel, but sort of a vintage-chic type of old-fashioned.
I like [name_f]Sibyl[/name_f], though I prefer the spelling [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]. Either way it’s lovely.
I love [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]/[name_f]Sibyl[/name_f] (I don’t know which spelling). It’s old but new at the same time, if that makes sense.
I prefer [name_f]Sybilla[/name_f] much more.
Sadly, I’ve only known one person with this name, and she was awful. 
She pronounced her name like the word “simple” with a B. I don’t think the name is very pleasant or appealing because of her, unfortunately. 
Maybe I’ll start to come around, but that woman is just ingrained in my mind and I don’t care for the pronunciation.
I really like [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], although I prefer this spelling. I do think that it would be considered a clunky, old ladies name by most. Although I do think it definitely has potential to be well liked, 5-10 years down the road. But I don’t think people should avoid it because of that, necessarily, unless being fashionable is important to you.
