[Opinions] Silvia
I've always admired Sylvia, but I recently fell headlong for Silvia. The name reminds me of a branch cloaked in snow, of a wintry exhalation, a whisper. What do you think?

I like both spellings, though Silvia is the Shakespearean spelling, so it does add something.
Hate it, and it doesn't get better because of Queen Silvia here in Sweden. I just can't stand her. I mean, she is the Queen of Sweden and she can't even speak proper Swedish. Ugh. I would stay out of Bernadette, because of Silvia Bernadotte ;)
Silvia Madeleine, Silvia Rosalind and Silvia Rosaline are my favorites

I put forward a motion
That a new adoption agency is needed. The Home for Mistreated Consonants, Vowels and Numbers Used as Letters.

I support that.
That sure was an enlightening response!
Let me guess...
...you don't like it.
Could you at least give us a reason why? Or are you another troll?
