Re: Sylvia
in reply to a message by Martha
I particularly like your suggestions of Margaret and Margot.
I'm not a huge fan of Sylvia; I think the 'lv' combination reminds me of names like Elvira. I do like it rather better when spelled "Silvia" - that spelling looks lighter somehow.
On the positive side, Sylvia makes me think of the forest (sylvan), elves (probably because of the "lv" sound), sprites (sylph) and silver.
