Re: Sylvia
in reply to a message by Jaime
Louise comes off as fillery to me, because while it's not so common as Marie and Anne, it's definitely been used as a filler for a lot of little girls.
I don't like Sylvia Louise in any case, since the L's are a tidge too close together for me. Sylvia Diane sounds nice, as does Sylvia Kathleen. Sylvia is absolutely gorgeous, in any case.
Names similar in feeling (in my mind--YMMV):
Ursula
Rowena
Camille
Dora / Doria / Doreen
Heidi
Pansy
Patricia
Gloria
Carole
Renee
Marie
Odette
Adele / Adelaide
Doris
Dolores
Lucetta / Lucette
Emilia
Fern
Cleo
Helen
Selma / Thelma / Velma
Blanche / Blanca
Franca / Franka
Winifred
Perenelle / Peronel
Jean(ne) / Joan

`Cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy--no I'm a man,
And I believe in a promised land.

Hopefully I can talk the man into Diane. I think it's pretty, but he's not overly fond of his mother. Winifred is one of my favorite names, and he actually suggested it, but I almost think it works better on a cat than an actual child.
