This name has definitely been growing on me.

Thoughts?

I quite like the idea of [name]Sylvie[/name] or [name]Vi[/name] (Vee) as a nickname.

What middle names spring to mind to put with it? :slight_smile:

I like it – it has a little more of an old lady vibe than the French [name]Sylvie[/name] – to me, anyway. I love [name]Sylvie[/name] though!

[name]Sylvie[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Sylvie[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]

[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Belle[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Manon[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Therese[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]

Good luck!

I much prefer [name]Sylvia[/name] to [name]Sylvie[/name] myself. [name]Even[/name] though [name]Sylvie[/name] is the legitimate French version of the name, it still only “sounds” like a nickname for [name]Sylvia[/name]. I think the reason some find [name]Sylvia[/name] to be an “old lady” name is because not many parents are considering it for their daughters anymore. That’s a shame. If you really concentrate on its lyrical sound, it would be a lovely choice! :smiley: FYI - The current [name]Queen[/name] of [name]Sweden[/name] is [name]Silvia[/name] which is the Italian and Spanish spelling. She’s half [name]German[/name] and half Brazilian. Here are some middle name suggestions with my faves in bold. All the best!
