[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] reminds me of someone who goes to the opera. [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Wildrose[/name_f] makes me think of someone tending their garden

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] was runner-up for my daughter’s name, and your middle options are gorgeous and creative, so these were really fun!

  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] - I get [name_u]Southern[/name_u] beauty pageant vibes - flouncy petticoats with layers upon layers of ruffles, [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] florals, silver-blonde curls, the royal wave, a tinkling laugh
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Bellerose[/name_f] - I see an odd, bookish sort of girl with unusual interests - apothecary jars filled with plant specimens, pressed flowers between the pages of obscure novels, large round wire-rimmed glasses, vintage boots with scores of tiny buttons
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] - I’m getting sort of an absent-minded socialite slash theatre kid - wildly curly blonde hair, a careless laugh, an enormous makeup bag packed with lipstick and chocolates and twelve kinds of perfume, posters of Broadway musicals, everything pink and screenprinted with the [name_u]Eiffel[/name_u] [name_u]Tower[/name_u].
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] - I get dainty, demure vibes - neatly folded hands wearing embroidered lace gloves, a vintage china tea set, sunbeams streaming in kitchen windows, cucumber sandwiches, a lovingly tended rose garden
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamonde[/name_f] - I actually don’t see a child for this one at all - I get imagery of an older woman with steel grey hair done up in a bun, tiny librarian glasses on a beaded chain, and a sharp, imperious stare - definite McGonagall vibes
  • [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Wildrose[/name_f] - I get serious wild-child energy - white eyelet dresses stained with streaks of grass and mud, rope swings over the deep patch in the creek, pockets full of snails and toads, chubby fistfuls of wildflowers, shrieks of childish laughter

Honestly, they all give me the same vibes: ethereal, magical, nature-y. I picture a little girl in a snowy white dress running barefoot through a lush [name_f]English[/name_f] garden with a crown of rosebuds on her head. :bouquet:
