Comments for the name Sylvie

Comments for SYLVIE:

This is beautiful. Phonetically pleasing, unusual but not weird, why aren't there more of them (under 60 I mean). I think this name must be about to come back in to fashion.

It's charming. Famous Sylvie's: Sylvie Lewis [singer], Sylvie Courvoisier [composer, pianist], and obviously Sylvie Vartan [singer].

Sylvie is also the Czech form.

Czech pronunciation is "SIL-vee-a".
-- Janika  10/7/2007
Czech pronunciation is actually more like Seel-vi-ye (shortly).

(I think Janika is simply confused by the difficulcies of pronunciation key in English, considering Czech is much more phonetical than English.)
