It's a Mean Girl name to me along with Veronica and Bianca.

My very FAVORITE BSC member!!!

I hope your Claudia also embraces homemade earrings and mismatched scrunch socks.

I love it!

Does anyone else consider Sylvie to have a similar vibe? Slightly European, but not pretentiously so?


Silvia.


I adore Sylvia. It’s my mom’s (a boomer) name. She hates it and everyone her generation hates it. They call it an old lady name. I mentioned to dhs aunt that there were so many babies getting name Sylvia and sylvie and she felt bad for them. So I don’t think it’s universal. Love it myself though!!


It needs to be Silvia to have the “slightly European” vibe though, like the queen of Sweden and The Two Gentlemen of Verona.


Well . . . Sylvie is French, but I do love Shakespeare's names, so agree that Sylvia/Silvia is also lovely. Maybe Chloe is the more popular equivalent of Sylvie?


I think Sylvie is similar to Amélie, it screams French. I wouldn’t call it slightly European.

Claudia was the coolest one in the BSC and in the new series she is absolutely adorable. It is a classic name.
