I never thought much about it until a year or so ago. I went hunting for new favorites and came across Sibyl.
It gives me a British WWII era feeling, perhaps because of Dame Sibyl Thorndyke, the actress. It has a no-nonsense, non-frilly quality about it that I love.
I came to like the name Sibylla too, because of the female lead in "My Brilliant Career." (I highly recommend the movie.)
The only spelling that I like is Sibyl. People might be more comfortable with the Sybil spelling because of Sylvia. But the purist in me says Sibyl or nothing.
