Help[Opinions] Re: Middle name(s) for Sylvia + pronunciation
in reply to a message by Bear
Sylvia Adela is a very nice combo! But again, Emmeline is not my style: I guess it's too frilly for my taste just like Christabel.
I'd change Sylvie Linnea to Sylvi Linnea: it flows and sounds a bit better to me (with Sylvi pronounced in the Finnish way). I think Linnea is pretty, but unfortunately I've get fed up with it because of its current popularity here in Finland :(

Thanks for all the feedback. Sometimes I wonder if things I write are ever read.
So glad you like Sylvia Adela. And Sylvi Linnea is wonderful. Thanks for putting me on to Sylvi. I love finding new (to me) variants of personal favorites. It's what interests me about languages generally: the way one word / name changes slightly from language to language. So interesting.
And now, I want to travel to Finland! I was in Helsinki for one night in 1982. I wish it had been longer.
