Sylvia
Sweet and refreshing? or dusty and out dated? Could you picture this name on a little girl? Also, what do you think of Geneva? Is it a good alternative to Eva or should I stick with Eva? Thanks!

Sylvia's dusty and dated. Sylivie sounds much fresher and younger.Geneva's meh. It too sounds rather old. I'd just stick with Eva.

I adore Sylvia! If it were me, I'd use the spelling Silvia, though. I think one way to make it more appropriate for a little girl is the nickname Sylvie.I'd stick with Eva. Geneva gives more options for nicknames, if you prefer that.

Sweet and refreshing. I would love to see Sylvie on a little girl.Geneva is not my taste at all. Stick with Eva.

This is ironic because my name is Sylvia and I have a sister named Geneva. I love both names! I think they both work well on all ages.

So I'm taking it you think they would make a good sibling set? :) Does your sister like her name and does she go by any nns?

I prefer Sylvie. Sylvia, new or not, reminds me of saliva.

I would like to see it on a little girl: it's never been popular enough to be associated with a particular age.If your potential Eva doesn't enjoy her name or is swamped in a class full of other Evas, she could be Jenny if she was Geneva. Might be a good thing! As usual, I would go for the option that offers more options.

I love Sylvia! If you're into nn's I think Sylvie would be so sweet. Sylvia is refreshing in my opinion. I much prefer Eva to Geneva. Eva is beautiful. :)

Sweet and refreshing. i could picture it on a little girl (although Sylvie is more little-girl-ish than Sylvia IMO.)I like Geneva and Eva equally, but I think Geneva would be less likely to become popular.
