I love Sylvia and always have, but can't stand Arnold. Not much more to say than that. If I saw a sibset Sylvia and Arnold, I'd think "Why did the boy get the short end of the stick?"

I did guess Arnold was going to be the least popular of the two! Together, they just bring to mind two little evacuees from WWII, at least for me, and I absolutely love that image.

For me, Arnold sounds too comical to have a romantic image. Sylvia works, but Arnold is clunky and out-of-place. Also, it reminds me of this:

Haha, I do actually remember watching Hey Arnold! as a child, but I don't know if I was overly fond of it. It doesn't really spring to mind when I hear Arnold alone, though.
