HelpStill struggling for Sylvie middle names..
Baby Sylvie is due in just over a week and I'm still struggling for middle names.
I really like Sylvie Valentina Ivy, but is it too V heavy? (Ivy is a family name).
Other names I like for middles but not sure of combos: June, Paloma, Joy, Reine, Vivienne...
Does Sylvie Valentina Ivy work? Maybe Sylvie Paloma Ivy is better? And if not what would you suggest from names above or fresh ideas welcome?
All my children have 2 middle names so she needs two - thanks!

Is it too late to name her Sylvia? Her nn would still be Sylvie, but it seems to me that the extra syllable improves the flow greatly. In fact, Sylvia Valentine Ivy (just move the -a around) doesn't look or sound V-heavy at all.
Once I knew a remarkable girl named Vivienne Joy, so that combo jumped out at me. Once again, Sylvia Vivienne Joy isn't a problem - is beautiful, in fact - though Sylvie Vivienne Joy is.

Sylvie Valentina Ivy is pretty V heavy. The worst part is the "vie va" part. Sylvia Valentina Ivy would be better because the a would space the v's out more.
Sylvie Paloma Ivy flows a lot better.
Sylvie June Ivy is nice too, though I like Sylvia June Ivy even more.

I love the name Sylvie. It is too cute.
I would steer away from so many v-heavy names.
Maybe these suggestions will help you decide or give you some ideas.
Sylvie Gwendolen Judith
Sylvie Paulina Ivy
Sylvie Anastasia Ivy
Sylvie Evangeline Ivy (this spaces out the v sounds a bit)
Sylvie Corinna Ivy
Sylvie Francesca Ivy
Sylvie Francesca Vivian / Vivien
Sylvie Frances Vivienne
Sylvie Mathilda Joy
Sylvie Juniper Ivy
Sylvie Helena Ivy

It's too V heavy and repetitive, if all you care about is the flow.
I like all the names. I don't mind Sylvie Valentina, but with Ivy it's too tonguetwisting.
Also I'd use Valentine (val-en-TEEN) with Sylvie because Sylvie's French and the incongruity bothers me.
Sylvie Paloma Ivy is alright, but again the rhyme ... Sylvie - Ivy, I would just not put them in the same combo if I cared about that.
Sylvie Valentine (-a) Reine ... now we're talking.
Sylvie Joy Vivienne, Sylvie Vivienne Joy
