HelpRe: Sylvia, Sylvia and Sylvanna
in reply to a message by )(
Sylvia is very good; Sylvie is the obvious nn for it. Sylvanna looks like the end of a game of Scrabble when nothing fits with anything on the board. Sylvana is preferable, but not as good as Sylvia.
I've never heard of Sylvia Browne, but the only Sylvia I've ever knew was a girl who was, briefly, in my class at school. We were in Grade 3; she was a couple of years older than the rest of us and couldn't keep up with the work at all. She had, I was told, bad breath and body odour; I had chronic sinusitis so I was none the wiser and walked home with her most days. Everyone else avoided her. She was very pleasant, very kind and a very sad case. She didn't last long at our school, and we never knew where she went. I hope it was somewhere where she could be helped to learn at least something. Her name was the only beautiful thing about her, apart from her personality. Thinking about her still makes me feel bad.
