in reply to a message by Paul
Bc you may or may not have just ruined a top 30 name of mine. I usually avoid names with strong negative connections...but maybe I should stop? :/

She was a young girl who was tortured and murdered by the woman who was supposed to be watching her (as well as one of her sons and a couple neighborhood boys).
There is a (fiction) book "The Girl Next Door" by Jack Ketchum that is loosely based on the case.
So Sylvia herself wasn't a bad person, but it's tied to a horrible crime.

I kind of figure that every semi-popular name out there has something horrible tied to it somewhere along the line. It just may or may not be memorable or newsworthy.
Not gonna let it stop me from liking a name unless it's the only association people have with the name.
