Help[Opinions] Re: Middle name(s) for Sylvia + pronunciation
in reply to a message by Remora L.
Yay, so glad you liked Sylvia Margot.
Sylvia Christabel is my little tribute to the Pankhurst (suffragette) family. Sylvia Emmeline and Sylvia Adela also come to mind. But yes, Christabel isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Oh. One last thought. I read in your responses that Sylvie is not for you. But I wanted to offer Sylvie Linnea anyway. You never know . . . . :0)

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.
