[Opinions] WDYTO: Silvestra? Does Silvie work as a nickname?
A while ago I had posted about Sylvester, which I like for a boy, and someone suggested Silvestra for a girl. I kept thinking of this name and it has grown on me, and I added it to my PNL. I like this name because it has the same feel as Alexandra but it is virtually unknown, and while it's long it has nickname potential.
I've been thinking of middle names, and I prefer honoring middle names but the only honoring name I can think of that could work is Silvestra Elise, which I don't think has any "wow factor" but at least is honoring.
So in summary:
What do you think of Silvestra?
Do you think Silvie works as a nickname? Are there any other nicknames?
What do you think of these combos?
Silvestra Elise
Silvestra Zoe
Silvestra Imogen
Silvestra Noor
Silvestra Eugenie
Can you think of any other Silvestra combos?

I don't like it much, but it could grow on me with time. I think Silvie is a fine nn for Silvestra and very directly derived so I would have no concerns whatsoever in that regard. Ilva could be another nn.
