I’ve recently warmed up to the name [name]Sylvia[/name]. WDYT? Also, what do you think of when you think of [name]Sylvia[/name]?
I think [name]Sylvia[/name] is an elegant, classic name. I like the French version, [name]Sylvie[/name], a little better, but [name]Sylvia[/name] is more traditional. I don’t really have a mental image-- although it strikes me as a “smart” name, so maybe a little bookish?
I went to school with a [name]Silvia[/name] (the spelling of which at first struck me as strange, but now [name]Sylvia[/name] looks wrong to me and I love the simpler [name]Silvia[/name] spelling). I [name]LOVE[/name] this name. I don’t think of any particular traits, but I think of the name as classic, beautiful, elegant and yet a little fun. The [name]Silvia[/name] I knew was very smart and hard-working, so I also think of that, but I don’t think of the name as bookish or nerdy or anything like that. And I love the option of [name]Sylvie[/name]/[name]Silvie[/name] as a nickname. I would absolutely [name]LOVE[/name] to meet a little [name]Sylvia[/name]/[name]Silvia[/name]!!! (It’s also on my list.)
I like [name]Sylvia[/name], it is a nice name that isn’t used too often which is a shame because it is a strong classic. I don’t really have any associations with the name. It is very pretty.
I think of [name]Sylvia[/name] as some very smart and sophisticated, probably a doctor or something. I prefer the original [name]Silvia[/name] spelling, but [name]Sylvia[/name] is still nice too. I also love the French version [name]Sylvie[/name], which also works great as a NN. I just all around love the whole package of the name 
I love [name]Sylvia[/name]. It sounds classic and elegant and beautiful. My husband and I have recently decided to add [name]Sylvana[/name] to our list with the nn [name]Sylvie[/name] so maybe you like that too
My grandmother’s name was [name]Sylvia[/name]. I think it’s beautiful! I’m from [name]Cleveland[/name]; she was from [name]Erie[/name] - both areas have a high Polish population. You’ll find a lot of Poles named [name]Sylvia[/name] in those cities, I’m sure Chicago & Detroit are the same - everyone’s grandmother was probably named [name]Sylvia[/name]. Fortunately, Poles are generally very attractive people. Tall, green or blue eyes, striking Eastern European features that look exotic.
My grandmother happen to be very kind, forgiving, did charity work her whole life, and foremost loved her family. So my views of a [name]Sylvia[/name] are of a soft, caring, beautiful woman.
Elegant! I like! You don’t hear it too often either.
Very pretty. It sounds silvery to me. I think of a school of tiny silver fish. I also think of [name]Silvia[/name] Plath.
[name]Sylvia[/name] has grown on me too. I like how it’s uncommon, but not crazy, classic but not boring, and elegent but not stuffy. It’s a great name, that’s ready to be reused.

[name]LOVE[/name] this name. Makes me think of [name]Sylvia[/name] Plath.
I love [name]Sylvia[/name]! I used to prefer the French [name]Sylvie[/name], but lately I’ve been loving [name]Sylvia[/name]. I met the most adorable little girl named [name]Sylvia[/name] in [name]June[/name], so that could have something to do with it! I’m also using [name]Silvia[/name] (this spelling) in a writing project I’m working on right now; I’m not sure which spelling I’ll end up preferring. [name]Silvia[/name]'s the original spelling, and the Late [name]Roman[/name] spelling (which is why I’m using this spelling in my story). I have to say, though, that there’s something indescribably beautiful about [name]Sylvia[/name], though–it just looks more elegant, like it positively glitters. I love both.
I love [name]Sylvia[/name] too…that’s why I chose it for my nameberry name. I love the meaning “in the woods.” So it’s a classic nature name. [name]Glad[/name] to see all the support for [name]Sylvia[/name] here.
I love the French [name]Silvain[/name].
