Re: Sylvia or Silvia?
I'm back and forth on Sylvie. I really like it, but then I keep thinking it's too nicknamey. I've been campaigning against the nickname-as-name thing for ages (e.g., Abby, Nell, Kate, Tim, Joe, Will, etc. as full names), and Sylvie seems to fall into this category.

Ah, but I think the fact it's French saves it from the nn category.
I once had a French penfriend from Marseilles called Sylvia (not Sylvie).
