HelpSibylla
I'm currently watching My Brilliant Career, an Australian film from the 70s about a headstrong, intelligent girl named Sybylla, and I've been reminded of my love of Sibylla as a result. What does everyone think of this elaboration of Sibyl (actually, Sibylla is a transliteration of the original Greek from which Sibyl is derived)?
These are the combinations I fancy:
Sibylla Beatrice / Beatrix
Sibylla Catherine
Sibylla Constance
Sibylla Dorothy
Sibylla Edith
Sibylla Frances
Sibylla Harriet
Sibylla Josephine
Sibylla Judith
Sibylla Margaret
Sibylla Margery / Marjorie
Sibylla Marian / Marion
Sibylla Maud
Sibylla Rosemary
Sibylla Ruth
Sibylla Thomasine

I do like the name, but not the sound -illa (-ylla), or at least not with the Moscovian swallowed L Americans would employ when saying it--something I find grating. If the L is pronounced in the front of the mouth, I am fine. But only the very tasteful would manage this. It's the same problem with Felix.
I have an ancestor named Sibylla.
I like Sibyl more.
