Re: Sibyl
in reply to a message by Lavinia
I adore Sibyl. It's feminine without being too frilly, which can make a nice change of pace. Plus the association with Greek mythology is a bonus.
I prefer the Sibyl spelling since that's how the noun is spelled. I generally like to keep the spelling simple that way.
I think enough time has gone by for a new generation to appreciate Sibyl's charms without thinking of the pop culture reference. Besides, the woman that book was based on has admitted that she lied to her therapist for attention.
Some favorite Sibyl combos:
Sibyl Minerva
Sibyl Johanna
Sibyl Morwenna
Sibyl Eugenia / Eugenie
Sibyl Cornelia
Myra Sibyl ("MIE-ruh")
Billie could be a cute nn for Sibyl / Sibylla.
