My favorite of the bunch is Sylvia; it's timeless, elegant, and underappreciated nowadays. Sylvanna "Sihl-VANN-nuh" actually sounds really gorgeous to my ears, reminding me of Savannah (a girl name that I love). Sylvie isn't a bad name, but I prefer it more as a nickname for Sylvia.

I've never heard of Sylvia Browne.

---

Sylvia feels calm, maternal, grounded. A forest green name.

---

Sylvie is more youthful, more sweeter. A lighter green.

---

Sylvanna feels affected. The name of a forest goddess in a D&D campaign.

I really like Sylvia, Sylvie is fine and I don't like Sylvanna.

I prefer Silvia.

I like Sylvia and Sylvie. I like Sylvana but not Sylvanna as much.
I also like Sylviana, Sylvaine, Sylva, Silva, Silvia, Silvana, Silviana

Sylvia is very good; Sylvie is the obvious nn for it. Sylvanna looks like the end of a game of Scrabble when nothing fits with anything on the board. Sylvana is preferable, but not as good as Sylvia.

I've never heard of Sylvia Browne, but the only Sylvia I've ever knew was a girl who was, briefly, in my class at school. We were in Grade 3; she was a couple of years older than the rest of us and couldn't keep up with the work at all. She had, I was told, bad breath and body odour; I had chronic sinusitis so I was none the wiser and walked home with her most days. Everyone else avoided her. She was very pleasant, very kind and a very sad case. She didn't last long at our school, and we never knew where she went. I hope it was somewhere where she could be helped to learn at least something. Her name was the only beautiful thing about her, apart from her personality. Thinking about her still makes me feel bad.

I like Sylvia best. Sylvie is ok. I don’t care for Sylvanna.

I love Sylvia and like Sylvie; I expect both will continue to rise in popularity.

Sylvanna is awkward, though I love Silvana.

I like Sylvie

I love Sylvia. I've met a few young ones. It's an elegant name. Syvie is cut, but Sylvanna is over the top to me.

I like Sylvia and Sylvanna. I like Sylvana more though. Not a huge fan of Sylvie, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the name.
