Sylvie ___?

Girl Names
1

Found out last week that our #3 is a girl. We have been stuck on [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] since I was pregnant with #2, and have decided that it’s still THE girl name. However, we’re having trouble with a middle name. I wanted to use [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] (because my name is [name_f]Megan[/name_f], which means “pearl”), but DH doesn’t like it at all. He wants to use [name_u]Marion[/name_u] (his recently deceased grandfather’s name), and while I loved and greatly respected his grandfather, I don’t really care for the name itself. Any and all suggestions welcome and appreciated! :slight_smile:

I really like your combination of [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]! Here are some suggestions that I have:

  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Madison[/name_u]
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Lila[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Milena[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u]
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f]

I saw [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] on here once and thought that was so pretty. I would consider using the family name first though.

I love the name [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is my first choice over [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u], although they are both nice. [name_m]How[/name_m] about combining or smooshing them inti [name_f]Mariel[/name_f], [name_f]Mariella[/name_f], or [name_f]Mary[/name_f]-[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] ?

Personally I love both [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_u]Marion[/name_u], but that doesn’t help you. What about [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet/name_f, [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Capucine[/name_f] (I love this name, and sounds like you like [name_m]French[/name_m] names too? It means Nasturtium, which is one of my favourite flowers).

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

Thanks for all the suggestions! I guess I haven’t completely ruled [name_u]Marion[/name_u] out, though it doesn’t feel quite right. sigh I wish DH didn’t dislike the name [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] so much…

I had thought about using a name that ends in -da, like my mom’s and mil’s names, but I can’t really find one I love that sounds right with [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. Kind of liked [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Jaeda[/name_f], but neither of those really feels right either.

Or maybe something to honor the Irish heritage in both our families?

I love [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]! [name_m]How[/name_m] about:

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Alexanda[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Wylda[/name_f]/[name_f]Wilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Blaine[/name_u]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Brigid[/name_f]/[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Erin[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Merrin[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Roisin[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Tiernan[/name_u]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Maryon[/name_f]

From those my favourites are probably [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Alexanda[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Wylda[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Roisin[/name_f].

Maybe [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Merida[/name_f]? Has a teensy hint of [name_u]Marion[/name_u] in there.

Or [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is sweet, but I actually think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u] would be perfect given that [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] has a unisex middle name as well. [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] would be gorgeous as well.

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] AND [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]! totally envious…:wink:

I love [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. Too bad he doesn’t like it…

My first thought was [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. Meaning of the sea, so it makes me think about pearls too while it sounds close to [name_u]Marion[/name_u].

14

Great suggestions! When I read “-da” name and [name_u]Marion[/name_u] I also thought of [name_f]Merida[/name_f]. And [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] is also a really fabulous together

I adore [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is a better combo. Instead of [name_m]Marrion[/name_m], how about [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]? If not, then I would think of other family names.
