Help[Opinions] Re: Sibyl
in reply to a message by guru
While I have fond association for Sibylla (main character in "My Brilliant Career" starring Judy Davis), I have a real soft spot for Sibyl.
There are so many beautiful, fancy names ending in an "-a." Sibyl is great because she doesn't need frills to express her femininity. And I definitely agree with you on the spelling. If the noun is "a sibyl" then the name should be "Sibyl" too. Sybil always makes me think of a poor man's Sylvia.
Sibyl has been on my mind a lot lately. I hope it's a sign of a general uptick in her popularity fortunes. Sibyl Minerva is my current stock combo for her. But Sibyl Hester is growing on my too. Actually, Myra, Sibyl and Hester have been playing around as a sibling set in my head too. . . . Sorry. I got lost for a minute in Sibyl dreaming.
