Help[Opinions] Re: Sylvia or Silvia?
in reply to a message by BrilliantBlue
Sylvia, because it's so familiar, and Silvia, although used by Shakespeare and evocative of silver (and therefore lovely), would be misspelled.
I can just hear the plaintive "Silvia with an i" all through her life, although I have to admit that Silvia is a tempting spelling because it seems so much fresher than Sylvia.
I think I'd stick to the gallic Sylvie - I love it!
