[Opinions] Re: Sibyl
in reply to a message by rem
I'm not a huge fan of siblings all sharing same letters, or even sounds, but Sage, Cyrus and Sibyl aren't that bad, especially when you've got the C spelling in there to shake it up.
I prefer the spelling Sybil, but not with a brother named Cyrus. Sibyl works better.
I do like Sybil / Sibyl. I've liked it for a while, but have to admit my opinion went up when the nicest, most admirable daughter in Downton Abbey was named that. Sybilla or Sibylla are nice too, though a touch more Germanic sounding.
Sibyl Alexandra is about the only combo I can think of right now. Maybe Sibyl Marguerite?

Yes, the Downton character made it seem more usable to me but I also don't want people asking if she's named for Downton Abbey.
