Hello! We are pregnant with our fourth (!!!), and should we be blessed with a daughter, we have chosen “[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f].” We love it for its sound and its meaning. However, we are stuck on finding a great middle name. We are hoping to find one that has either another “nature” vibe to it or a reference to a literary character (I teach college lit and writing). We prefer classic or vintage names to modern ones (just our preference). She will have a Swedish last name that begins with “L” and has three syllables. Any ideas? So far, we have [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f].
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] is one of my favorites! [name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
Those are all great!
I am a fan of [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], but my husband vetoed it.
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] name, [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]!

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] has a similar sound to [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f]. If you want a literary connection, [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] has one: Maeve - Wikipedia
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] could be another option. You could have the nature connection as well as a reference to Greek mythology. Additionally, her initials would be [name_m]SIL[/name_m], which is a nickname for [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] (although I don’t know if you intend to use it).
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] would have a literary connection and a natural element through biblical [name_f]Eve[/name_f].
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] sort of fits under “nature name,” and may have literary references.
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] would be a nature name. [name_f]Olive[/name_f] also is a character in [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]'s The Bostonians: The Bostonians - Wikipedia I also like that her initials would be [name_m]SOL[/name_m], which means “sun” in Spanish.
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] obviously falls under the nature names category, but I’m not sure if it has any literary connection.
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] has a biblical connection.
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] ([name_u]Lee[/name_u] means [name_m]Field[/name_m] or meadow)

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] was the first thought…What about [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_m]Quartz[/name_m], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Juneau[/name_u]/[name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Jay[/name_u], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]…Or:

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] Demaris (demm-air-iss)connection to [name_u]Demeter[/name_u], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u], or [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
