While Sybil Isabelle Dorsett was the name used for the book and film / TV adaptations, her real name was Shirley Ardell Mason. Her real name was revealed at the end of the 2007 film.

Sybil Trelawney from the Harry Potter book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Oh, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Lady Sybil Ramkin, later Vimes, from the Discworld City Watch series. She's an excellent character and a great role model.

Lady Sybil Crawley of "Downton Abbey" is the youngest of Lord and Lady Grantham's three daughters and by far the most progressive and politically-involved. She is actively involved in the women's suffrage movement and becomes a nurse in World War I. She crosses class-boundaries, caring more about the family servants as people than about their status.
She soon finds that her family's Irish chauffeur, Tom Branson, is in love with her; at the end of WWI, she finds that the feeling is mutual and, despite the initial protests of her parents and grandmother, marries Tom. Sadly, she dies soon after the birth of their daughter (named in her honor).

Sybil is one of the most likeable characters on the show and is among my favorites since she's intelligent, independent, kind, and courageous enough to defy convention.

Famous English actress Dame Sybil Thorndike (1882-1976).

Lady Sybil Crawley is a fictional character on the tv show Downton Abbey. She is progressive and political. I like her a lot. I also like this name a lot but I prefer it spelled Sibyl.

A famous bearer of this name was the English witch Sybil Leek (February 22, 1917 - October 26, 1982). She was an English witch, astrologer, psychic, and occult author. She wrote more than sixty books on occult and esoteric subjects. She was dubbed "Britain’s most famous witch" by the BBC. Because she rose to media fame in the 1950s after the repeal of the 1735 Witchcraft Act in 1951, she had an effect upon the formation of neopagan witchcraft, namely the religion of Wicca.

This has not changed my opinion on the name Sybil, I still really love it. :)

Sybil Ludington was a 16 year old daughter of Colonel Henry Ludington during the American Revolution. While tucking in her 7 younger siblings, she heard that her father's troups needed to be rounded up to stop a surprise British attack. She rode the New York countryside, gathering her father's soilders. She's considered an American hero.

Sybil is a Welsh princess in My Lady de Burgh by Deborah Simmons, a book I read, I love the personality of the character very much. So I personally love the name and think it would be a great name for a very interesting daughter.

Sybil Ludington is called the female Paul Revere because she rode to warn people one night during the Revolutionary War.

Sybil Fawlty is the husband of Basil/John Cleese in the sitcom "Fawlty Towers".

Sybil is often associated with Sybil Isabelle Dorsett, the pseudonym of a young Wisconsin woman so tortured by her mother that she developed one of the (if not the most) most severe cases of multiple personality disorder on record. The association is fading a bit--there are plenty of people who've never heard of the woman--but the book and film are both still in print.
