Help[Opinions] Sybil what? Middle name help needed
We've finally decided we're naming our daughter Sybil. We are going to use that spelling BTW. We've got some middle name options but I would love if you could give me your opinion on which one we should use. Here is our list.
Sybil Fern Davis
Sybil Honora Davis
Sybil Lenora Davis
Sybil Leonie Davis
Sybil Linnea Davis
Sybil Ruth Davis
Sybil Verity Davis
I'd like to know, do you have one you really like for us? Is there any one or more that we shouldn't even consider? We do have an unintentional pattern with our other daughters. Both of them have L names and names with good meanings so kind of sticking with that theme would be cool but not necessary. Our daughters are Astrid Lily Davis and Lark Sylvia Davis.
Thank you for your help

If it was my choice and my daughter, I'd use three given names - all my children have three each - and name her Sybil Verity Ruth.
Lenora looks odd: Sybil Leonora would be better. I don't much like the -l of Sybil colliding with the L- of Le(o)nora, Leonie or Linnea. I also actively dislike Fern as a human name; fine for a plant. Sybil Honora would be my second choice.

I like all of these combos. My favorites are Sybil Fern and Sybil Ruth.
Sybil Fern and Verity are the best!
I wouldn't start a middle names with a L if the first name ends in one. Of your list Sybil Verity Davis is without a doubt the best one.
Also, I wouldn't take the theme into account personally. Sybil Verity gets my vote either way. Sybil Fern would be my second choice and Ruth wouldn't be an option for me bc Sybil Ruth sounds a bit too granny-ish to me.
If you'd really like an L name I'd go with Sybil Leona Davis. I know, it's not on the list, but it's my daughter's name and feels like it fits right in with what you have already :D

I wouldn't choose a middle name that begins with L because Sybil ends with L, so I vote for Sybil Fern or Sybil Honora.
I like Sybil and your spelling. Sybil Fern and Sybil Ruth are my favourite combos from your list.

Sybil Fern fits in with the nature theme of your other daughter’s names (Lily, Lark). Were the nature names on purpose?
Other L nature names:
Sybil Laurel (but this sort of rhymes)
Sybil Lotus
Sybil Lavender
Sybil Lilac
Besides Sylvia Fern, I really like Sybil Linnea and Sybil Lenora from your list.
Other L names:
Sybil Leticia (meaning happiness)
Sybil Laure (meaning laurel)
Sybil Livia (meaning either envious/blue, which isn’t the greatest, or olive)
