I very much prefer Sylvia to Sylvie. Sylvie is a cute nickname though or a great name for someone with French origin. I was shocked to learn that the name Sylvie is considered to be an old lady name in France just like Sylvia is seen in the US by some. Sylvia is becoming more and more popular though which I’m overjoyed to see. I think both names are very beautiful, classy, and flow super well.
I LOVE the name Sylvie! It makes me think of the color silver, because it has the same prefix. I don't understand everyone's preference for Sylvia over Sylvie, because to me, Sylvie is much more elegant (but that might just be the French aspect of it). It's definitely on my list!
Only sounds youthful to me like it won't age well. Sylvia is better.
It's just the French version of Sylvia. Lovely name for girls, ladies and women...
Sylvie is one of my top 3 favourite girls names. I love it! The meaning “spirit of the woods” is just so magical, and the name just rolls off the tongue. It seems like the name of a fairy or pixie. I’ve loved it ever since I was a kid, the name of my doll when I was little was Sylvie. I hope I get the chance to name a daughter this one day.
Love this iteration of Sylvia. Very pretty.
Personally I prefer Sylvia - but Sylvie is a lovely name as well.
It's okay, I prefer Sylvia a little more.
My name is Sylvie and I love it.
I think Sylvie is beautiful- fairy-like and delicate. We are planning to name our baby Sylvie Elise. Not sure who said this name is overused— I haven’t met anyone in the US with this name, and it’s currently sitting at number 867 which is not high at alll. Maybe they live somewhere it’s more common?
Fine. Nothing wrong with it but IT"S SO OVERUSED AND KINDA BORING.
Love the combination Sylvie Lucia.
Please don’t do this to a poor child. I would absolutely hate being stuck with this name!
So pretty!
This is my nickname. My real name is Sylvia, but I've always loved Sylvie more. It's one of those few names that have an equally charming spelling and pronunciation. It looks modern and classic at the same time. Definitely a timeless name!
I absolutely adore this name, so much prettier than Sylvia in my opinion. Sylvie is sweet, charming, and beautiful.
It's beautiful, and in English-speaking countries makes a playful take on Sylvia.
There's also a less common French variant of Sylvia - Sylvette. I think Sylvette sounds a bit contrived, but could be a pretty middle name.
French names are the best. Sylvie just takes the cake.
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.
