It reminds me of the movie, unfortunately.

It's nice enough

I adore it! I'm even fonder of Sibylla.

Well, not a real fan of it.
First of the conflicting spelling, remember that people always asked to the right spelling in the appropriate case: Sibyl or Sybil resp. (in Germany where I live) Sibylle or Sybille ?
Furthermore this name has an old-fashioned touch and does not sound very nice in my opinion.
I prefer the turkish variant as follows --> Sibel (See-bell)

Multiple personalities, in the mental illness sense.

Dislike! It sounds somehow cut off, like if a letter was missing in the end. It doesn't sound very feminine due to this fact. And I think the "i" and "y" is confusing. I also think it sounds old. Sorry!

Even though it's not the original spelling, I prefer Sybil because of a character assocoation (and I just think it looks better) but in terms of sound I absolutely love it! Okay, I have been pushed quite a bit by the association I mentioned, but I've always liked Sybil/Sibyl and I love the vintage feel it has, and Sybbie is just the most adorable nickname! I quite like the meaning too, and I'm a sucker for anything related to Greek mythology. Sybil/Sibyl has a good deal of feistiness about it and is definitely ready for a revival.

I think it's cute in an awkward way, but I prefer Sibylla / Sybilla (which is weird, because I don't usually care of -lla ending names).

Its one of those names that I just cannot find attractive, like Gretchen and Hildegard. Even after lovely Sibyl on Downton Abbey brought it a bit to the forefront and wore it well, I can't seem to like it.

Not a fan. Sounds dated and makes me think of a cranky older woman who works as a highschool teacher or a librarian and is close to retirement, if she isn't already. Not many care much for her company.

I think it's sweet, along with Mabel and Beryl. I've meet a little Mabel, and wouldn't be too surprised to meet a little Sibyl, but i don't think any of them are going to attain much popularity.

I like its look better than its sound. On paper Sibyl is sophisticated, classy. However, as soon as I say it, I realize that the name barely had any emphasized syllables - it's pretty much a pair of schwas separated by a B, and book-ended with an S and L.

Sibylla has a nicer sound, even if it is a bit pretentious.
