I don't hate it, but it's not my favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-1#post-1998091 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 10:08:09 +0000 Mrs. J 1998091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's ok, BUT it goes really well with your DDs' names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-1#post-1997963 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 23:42:45 +0000 lemondrop 1997963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer it as a nickname, but Sylvia was my beloved spitfire of a great-grandmother, so I'm more a fan of that name instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-1#post-1997857 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 19:33:14 +0000 littleblessings 1997857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said it's okay cuz that's the name of my friends car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-1#post-1997727 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 11:38:46 +0000 ILoveLettie 1997727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: I realize it doesn't have to be a nickname, though I didn't know it was officially the French version. What I was saying--though it probably wasn't clear and I apologize--is that I personally don't like names with the -ie, -y sound at the end because they sound like nicknames, at least to me here in America, even if they aren't, which is why I prefer Sylvia. But it's just my personal preference :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-1#post-1997708 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 10:42:59 +0000 Maysprout 1997708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it a lot, we try to find names that won't sound bad with either the french or English speaking side of our families so we strongly considered it with our girls and might use it in the future. @ILoveLettie: It's not a nickname, it's the french version of Sylvia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-1#post-1997679 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 08:41:23 +0000 ILoveLettie 1997679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted "it's OK" because I really like the name Sylvia, even though I associate it with older women, and think it could easily make a comeback and be used on a baby and call her Sylvie when she was a little girl/if she preferred it when she was older. However, I would personally give her the full name Sylvia because I'm not a fan of diminuitives as full names, especially when they end in the -ie sound (Gracie, Katie, Abbie, etc.): love them as nicknames, but I know I would personally appreciate having Sylvia as an option to put on a resume, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-1#post-1997656 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 04:32:37 +0000 lamariniere 1997656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's ok...I know a few French women named Sylvie, it's definitely a name for someone in their 30s/40s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-1#post-1997635 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 01:12:50 +0000 Astro Bee 1997635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know several women named Sylvie (it's not an uncommon name for French women in Canada). It's probably more unique in the US though. I don't have any strong feelings for it either way. Not sure if that's what you're looking for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-1#post-1997617 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 00:26:07 +0000 Ginabean3 1997617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!!
