[name_m]Hi[/name_m] ladies.
I’ve been thinking of adding some new girl names to my list, so of course I want your opinions 
What do you think of:
[name_f]Flavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
Bonus question: [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer the spelling [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] or [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f]?
[name_f]TIA[/name_f]!
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] are beautiful! I don’t really like [name_f]Flavia[/name_f], though. I definitely prefer [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] to [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] has a fairytale-esque vibe to it, for me. [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] strikes me as feminine but preppy. I like both, very different yet equally pretty, names.
I really love [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] (spelling this way) I’m not feeli the others.
I prefer [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]. I don’t like [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] but [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] is an interesting variant. [name_f]Flavia[/name_f] makes me think of flavour, not really my taste.
No pun intended? 
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] (this spelling) - mainly for the option of [name_m]Pip[/name_m] and [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] as nicknames.
Like [name_f]Flavia[/name_f] - it’s lively, spunky and interesting.
Not loving [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - honestly, I don’t care for any of the “[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]” names, with the exception of the lovely [name_f]Cybele[/name_f].
Thank you for the replies!
@emmamay, thank you for your descriptions of [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]! I agree
@katinka I too love the [name_m]Pip[/name_m]- nicknames! [name_m]Pippin[/name_m] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] in your sig is darling, but I don’t think I’m that brave haha.
So [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] is generally liked, while [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] and [name_f]Flavia[/name_f] are getting mixed reviews so far…
Anyone else?

I like [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] the most. I never cared for [name_f]Sibyl[/name_f] or [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], but fell for the softer [name_f]Sibel[/name_f] after meeting one, and [name_f]Sybel[/name_f] after reading ‘The Forgotten Beasts of the Eld’ by [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] A. McKillip. [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] reminds me of these two, but ultimately, she’s too similar to overused [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. I always prefer the -bel names to the -bella names though.
[name_f]Flavia[/name_f] is nice, she’s more interesting than [name_f]Livia[/name_f] if you ask me. [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] is sweet, this spelling is the best.
All of the three options are nice, but none are my style. I love them for someone else’s child, and I’d be most intrigued to meet [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] even though I would probably have to ask to get it right. [name_f]Flavia[/name_f] would be next in line, [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] feels the most expected.
I love [name_f]Flavia[/name_f] and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] is ok (really I just love the nn [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]). [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] doesn’t appeal at all.
[name_f]Flavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
I’m not big on any of them. I think [name_f]Flavia[/name_f] is okay, it makes me think of The Hunger Games for some reason (not sure if there was a character with this name) so it seems a bit like a creative writing name rather than a name on a real person.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] sounds pretty, but nms.
I’ve always hated [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]. I find it extremely outdated and I always hated [name_m]Philip[/name_m] on a boy so I see this as being worse, though [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] I’ve always found quite cute.
I only like [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], spelled like this (or [name_f]Filippa[/name_f]!).
[name_f]Flavia[/name_f] feels very dramatic and exotic to me. I quite like it but it feels very Italian to me so I would find it surprising (not in a bad way) to see it on someone who wasn’t Italian. This is probably partly because I associate it with the Italian tennis player [name_f]Flavia[/name_f] Pennetta though.
I’m not really a fan of [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] but I like [name_f]Sibylla[/name_f]/[name_f]Sybilla[/name_f].
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] is my favourite of the three. It’s an underused classic with lots of history, and has a British feel to it (as in, a name that doesn’t get used much outside of [name_m]Britain[/name_m]). It feels very proper and like a name a lady of the manor would have.
haha I didn’t even notice that!
