HelpRe: Sylvia
in reply to a message by Caitlin
Who is Silvia? what is she,
That all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
The heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admirèd be.
Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness.
Love doth to her eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness,
And, being helped, inhabits there.
Then to Silvia let us sing,
That Silvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling:
To her let us garlands bring.
-William Shakespeare
That is my one association, which I think is a lovely one :)

That's mine too!
In high school, Sylvia was my favorite name just because of Two Gentlemen of Verona. I also love the forest maiden meaning.
For some reason though, I no longer care for the name. It suddenly began to sound like an "old lady name" to me. I have no idea why, but I wish I could like it again.
