Sylvia, because...
...it was my grandma's name. :)

It's very international, charming, smooth. I also like the 'y' spelling but it reminds me a little of old ladies and moth-bitten curtains. Not sure why.

To me, the difference between Sylvia or Silvia is like the difference between Lydia and Lidia. They seem to have different styles. I think people would more automatically spell these names with a "y", as it is more known to be spelled that way.
I know a little girl named Sylvia -- she is adorable! She spells it with a "y". I think spelling it with an "i" is pretty too, but I like the look of Sylvia a tiny bit better. Overall, a beautiful name. I think it sounds pixie-like. :)

I am more partial to this spelling because of the Shakespeare poem. But I like both spellings.

Just like the look of the y below the line.

No good reason - it's entirely subjective. Boys names like Silvester, I prefer the 'i' spelling.

Silvia looks like the words "saliva" and "salvia"

looks less like silver. Idk. I just prefer the look of it with the y sticking out there.

I don't like the look of the Y written down. Plus I like that it looks like silver.

Silvia, since it looks similar to Silver (a GP of mine, and just a pretty association). Sylvia looks more harsh, and I'm generally not fond of names with 'y' in the middle.
