HelpHOW DID I MISS THIS?
in reply to a message by foxgloves
Are you pronouncing it like this? Because I'm reading your typed pronunciation differently than I say it.
(Just ignore the surname part. https://forvo.com/word/ro/silviu_bindea/)
SEEL-vih-OO. Slight second syllable still there.
Regardless, I LOVE THIS NAME. As you can see below, it's in my Top Ten. Silvio is almost tied with it, but this one eeks out just slightly higher.
I'm American and I don't have a problem with it, but I've also been learning Romanian for almost a year now so it may come easier to me than others.
I don't think I would let a common misread hinder me from loving/using something.
I know in Romania that this is an old name that isn't really used on young people, but to my foreign ears, it's absolutely lovely.

Evgeniy • Hadley • Anastasio • Jean-Benoit • Dashiell • Brooklyn • Sebastian • James • Nikita • Silviu
Natalia • Viviana • Estella • Eugenia • Maximiliana • Devnet • Valentyna • Daciana • Philippa • Kasia
