My Sylvia... :)

---

This is my best friend's name. She is 13 and her MN is Hae Min (She's Korean). She hates her name because she says it sounds too old and reminds her of the word "Sylvan", meaning lumber. But I've always liked it, a lot because of her. :)

It's ok. I go back and forth between liking it and not being very fond of it. I prefer Sylvie, the French form.

I adore Sylvia. I agree with Cambria about it having a "a natural, woodsy feel"; it's graceful, elegant, and ethereal. It's also the name of my first and favorite ballet instructor who is one of the most talented, creative, ingenious people that I have ever known. I can't say enough good things about the name, it's absolutely beautiful.

It's still feels a little too geriatric to me, but I think it's going to grow on me within a few years. I think it's got a cool sound and meaning.

Love it, especially spelled Silvia, it works for a young girl and also ages very well!

I love my crazy family, Kourtney, Kiley, Keegan, and Kendra

I love it! It would be nice to see a few more Sylvia's than Sophia's running around now days.

I love it. It's very, very lovely. I've started writing a story with a character named Silvia and she's gotten me to loving the name (ditto Arlyn, Errol...)

I like it with the spelling Silvia, Silvana is also nice, imo

Stunning, I love it.

I like Sylvia but I like the French version Sylvie more.

I love it. Especially Sylvie.

I think it's very classy, and I get a natural, woodsy feel from it. :o) I prefer it to Sylvie, but then again, I'm partial to names ending in -ia.

It's one I really like, but spelled Silvia. :)
