Re: Sile
in reply to a message by REM
I like the idea of being creative but Sile isn't very visually appealing...
Sheila just looks like it would be a nicer, more attractive person than Sile.
Not to mention that people would be constantly calling her "Syle" like style with out the "t"...
I think I would go with Sheila. It really is a nice name.

The more I see it, the more I think my preference is Sheila. I worry about my husband thinking it's an "old fashioned" name (he was very against Genevieve for this reason). He seemed to prefer Sile, when I mentioned it. But perhaps, I can persuade him. Yes, I think you're right, and it would be always mispronounced.
I was just thinking about what I wrote and wanting to change it. My opinion comes deeply from the fact that I work I healthcare and believe me, no accent marks or any of that make it into a person's name here. I would think it was just "syle" and I'm sure others would too. However, I could a;so be wrong....
I know a woman from India named Shiyla. I don't think it's in the BTN database but she said it was hindu. Pronounced the same way...
If the alternate spelling appealed to your husband and you wanted something that was still authentic, maybe Shiyla is an option??
Sorry if I was rude...

Oh, no worries. I wasn't offended. I asked for opinions. I don't care for Y's in most names. You've convinced me. It must be Sheila. I'll edit my post if I can.
Alas, I tried to come up with something than just Sheila...
as for combos I think I like Sheila Alexandrine
