Sylvie or Sylvia??

Girl Names
1

I would really like to honor my Great Grandmother and have her name as my daughters. Her name was [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]. I would also like to incorporate my Brother’s name [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] as her middle name. But I am stuck on whether I should name her [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] or [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. I would love some input!

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u]
or
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u]

I like [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u] as it sounds prettier to me. Also if her name is [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] you have the option to call her [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] as a nickname so you get the best of both worlds. I would be so excited if I met a baby [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]!

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], because I adore the nn [name_f]Via[/name_f]! Also, you could use [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] as a nickname for it.

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u] flows very well. Good luck :slight_smile:

I agree with a PP who said that [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u] flows better and there’s always the option of calling her [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] if you want to! :slight_smile:

I much prefer [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], which is so stylish, modern and cool. [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u] is quite lovely! [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] sounds fusty to me.

I prefer the lovely [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f].

I much prefer [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]. [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] sounds like a nickname to me, and it can be [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]'s nickname! That way, as a previous poster said, you get the best of both worlds. But honestly, imagining the name on a resume, I think [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] is a bit more sophisticated on an adult.

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] . .

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is the [name_m]French[/name_m] form of [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]. And yes, most people can imagine it, with no issues, on a resume. Most names will have no issues on a resume. The statement actually sounds silly, in my opinion, and it sounds elitist.
