Help[Opinions] Re: Silvia/Sylvia
in reply to a message by Cressida
I like both spellings, but the Silvia one seems to suit a Latin context best. I do think a Silvia in an English-speaking country would have her name misspelled.
Interestingly, as a teenager I had a French penfriend, from Marseilles. Her name was Sylvia (that y spelling) - not the French Sylvie.
I love the Sylvie version, but think Sylvia is ripe for a comeback. It's lovely.
