Sylvie, a feminine derivative is quite common and popular in Europe, and even more so in [French speaking] Africa. Sylvia and Sylvana would thus be the English versions. I once met a Sylvinie in Switzerland, but can’t tell if she was so christened, or [self-]nicknamed. Sylvie Vartan (1st wife of the late French superstar singer Johnny Halliday) is a very famous 60’s – 70’s French singer (still alive as of current Jan 2019). I was told that the name Sheila (an Irish, Welch, Scottish, or Scandinavian version?) was derived from Sylvain; but I couldn’t verify….

We are going to name our son Sylvain. Sylvain Alexandre.My husband and I struggled to come up with a name that would be bilingual in French and English (that we both actually liked). We live in the US and all my family are anglophones, but all his family is in Quebec, and they're all francophones.

It was a much easier process finding a name for our daughter - Brielle Elise! But with our little boy, we toyed with lists of names for months until we happened upon this gem. It met all our criteria. It's unusual. It's soft-sounding. It has a lovely meaning, and it's not too foreign. We've decided to go with the traditional French spelling and simply explain to our English-speaking friends and family that we'll pronounce it Sil-VIN Alexander in English.
