[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not trying to be rude here, but how do people find themselves in this situation? If you had a routine healthy pregnancy and found out that you were pregnant at the typical time, then you had many months to choose a name. You didn’t start feeling like this name wasn’t so great in all of those months?[/quote]

Hormones sometimes make people crazy. My friend, while pregnant, was considering naming her daughter Sylvia. SYLVIA. She is normally a reasonable person. Thank god we all rallied when the baby was born and kept her from filling out the birth certificate until she came to her senses and realized what an awful thing it would be to name a baby in 2023 Sylvia, and decided on a much more reasonable name.[/quote]

I know two Sylvias and a Sylvie under age 10, it's very consistent with all the other common names going around. It's better than some of the other old lady names I've come across on little kids, actually. And much better than a super trendy name like Bexley or Havensleigh or something.[/quote]

I love the name Sylvie. Also wondering why Sophia is generally accepted as a reasonable name but Sylvia isn't?[/quote]
