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

My sister's name is Silvia. Same spelling. And my middle name is a variant of Beatrice. It's Beatriz and you pronounce it more like veatriz.
