Silvia

Silvia: a cascade of emerald-colored leaves, each letter fluttering like dappling sunlight through the canopy. An arboreal sonnet, it carves pathways winding through the bosom of an unearthly forest. I am certain that a person named Silvia is truly one with the forest, a bearer of an untold kinship with the ferns and the mosses. Crofts of green stretching as far as the eye can see, straddling the sea and the sky. A forgotten glory, Silvia has been abandoned over the years, but I do hope it one day regains its spark.

Beautiful name with beautiful meaning. I prefer Sylvia to Silvia though. Still, Silvia looks very pretty, it reminds me of the word silver.

I agree with "justmy2cents"! I feel like I'm going to name my Perodua Viva "Silvia" because of its beautiful silver paint!

I think it's lovely.

Prefer it with a Y like "Sylvia" but still nice.

Very beautiful, I also love Sylvia as well.

Pretty! I’ll maybe use it, it ages well too!

Love the nickname 'SILVER'. Such a shimmery youthful name. Simply beautiful!

I don't love it, but it's cute.

Sounds cutesy, but it's not overly cute like Kaylee, Kinsley, Everly, etc.

This name, Silvia, reminds me of evergreen forests on a clear spring morning when the air is fresh and songbirds start to sing. Its meaning is very attractive and simple to enunciate for most people who would come across it. The name does deserve a ready nod of use in a day and age when one rarely encounters such a person by that forename.

My name is Silvia and I love it. I'm kind of old fashioned myself, I'd much rather have lived in different times. And I'm also glad it's not so popular anymore. Everyone is called Nicole and Aya and names like that nowadays in my country.

I would see a very genteel, mature, young lady bearing this name, who would bring light and hope to everyone around her (And good cooking to!)

At first I thought my name was kind of simple, but then I found out the meaning of my name Silvia and all the stories my name is being used on. I love my name.

Such a delectable name with this spelling! I also like Sylvia but find the Silvia spelling almost irresistible - it has such a light and silvery feel!
I love the combo Silvia Juliet - both from Shakespeare.

I don't really like the sound of this name, but I did suggest to my friend to name her cat Silvia because the cat was grey and white so she looked silver. Something about the "ill" sound in this name puts me off about it.

I have never heard this, but it is beautiful! I really like it!

I think it's unfortunate that Silvia/Sylvia has been sort of relegated to "old-fashioned" status, since it has such a lovely sound. If people would have the guts to use it, it wouldn't have such an "old woman" image along with it. I also happen to prefer Silvia to Sylvia, since Silvia reminds me of silver.

Silvia sounds so sleek and slender to me. It's a beautiful, silvery name.

I think Silvia is a wonderful name for anyone looking to use a classic name for their children. There's really no such thing as a name that is 'too old fashioned' in my opinion. Today, names seem very meaningless and pointless with everyone trying to make them as 'unique' as they possibly can, even going so far as to misspell them chosen name when they can just use a wonderful name that isn't grotesque.

I love the spelling of Silvia VS. Sylvia. This name seems very youthful when spelled this way, I'd highly recommend this very fine name for anyone.

Thumbs Up the following comment!

This is not one of my favorite names. It seems too old fashioned.

It is my grandmother's name and I think it's one of the most beautiful names I've ever seen! My grandma was very beautiful when she was young.
