I love Sylvia, though I prefer Silvia.

I love Sylvie but I'm not really into Sylvia.

It's in my top three names for girls. If I used Sylvia, though, I'd definitely call her Sylvie.

I like 'Sylivie' more than 'Sylvia'.

It reminds me of Sibyl.

It's great. Sylvia is one of my favorite names. So crisp, clear, and elegant. Sylvie is the same.

I like it a lot. I worry that it's one of those natural-popularity-progression names, though. Once the general population realizes how overused Olivia is, Lydia and Sylvia are top candidates. You might find yourself riding a huge, unexpected popularity wave. Or not. Can't predict the future.

Love it.

I love Sylvia: it's my favorite girl's name and I would definitely name my daughter Sylvia. Sylvie is a cute NN, but I myself would use Sylvi (it's more proper in the Finnish context).

Adore.

Hated it for years because I had a principal in school named Sylvia who was former military and commanded the school like she was still in the service and we were new recruits.

---

But now years removed from that, I've come to love almost all Sylv- / Silv- names.

I think I like Silvia a little more than Sylvia, but I love both and I adore Sylvie even more, but I would only use it as a nickname.

I love it!

Lovely!

I like it! It's pretty and cute and has a lot of character and woodsiness while also being sophisticated.
I generally prefer Sylva, Sylvan (m), Sylvana, etc. but I started liking Sylvie after reading "The Great Good Thing".
I also like that it sounds like silver even though it has nothing to do with silver.

I absolutely love Sylvia and Sylvie (as a full name or nn). She feels sophisticated and beautiful, as well as fun, playful, energetic, and with a hint of fire and feistiness. I really like the vintage feel and meaning too. I wanted to use it as a middle (for Sylvia Pankhurst) but I haven’t found anywhere that it quite fits.
