One day I would love to name my daughter after my grandparents. After my great grandma [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] and my grandpa [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. Any thoughts or other ideas?? I was thinking of the combination of either:
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] or
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] are both gorgeous! I personally prefer [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] to [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] (not because [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] seems incomplete–I just prefer [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] in general). I would love to meet a little [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]!
I adore [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]! And [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is perfection. I prefer it to [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] mainly because the latter is still a bit “old-lady” to me, while [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is retro while being on point style-wise (and not too popular!)
I love [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is perfection!
Personally I find the 3-3 combo of [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] to be unappealing.
I love [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]!! It’s so sweet :). However you could always officially use the name [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] and use [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] as a sweet nickname. So she could be [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] when she’s little and maybe once she grows up adopt the more mature sounding [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]?
I think [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] is so much more beautiful, and sounds much more sophisticated to me. [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is lovely. [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] sounds like a nickname to me, and she could always go by that if she wanted to.
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] flows better and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] is definitely a better choice in my opinion. [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] sounds nickname-ish to me, but [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] is a gorgeous classic.
Both are really lovely! I would say go with [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], because you get the best of both worlds that way with [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] as an almost inevitable nickname, but a longer form, too. That said, I think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] can totally stand alone as a full name as well (I think of it as the [name_m]French[/name_m] version of [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], not as a short or nickname version of it) so if you’re one of those people (like my husband!) who thinks the name on the birth certificate should be what you use on a regular basis, and you prefer [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] then I’d say go for it.
