What do you think of the name Sylvie?

What do you think of the name Sylvie? Do you like the combos Sylvie Josephine and Sylvie Clara?

Thanks! :)

Update:

Sylvie is the French version of Sylvia. It's not a nickname.

    Sylvie is really weird and all....maybe as a nickname for Sylvia. Slyvia is a much nicer name...Sylvia Claire sounds nice. Sylvia Josephine is too long, I'd recommend you find something else. I actually think it'd be kind of cool to have the name Josephine...it's really old-fashioned and fancy but there are a lot of cute, modern nickames you can get from it. What about Sylvia Jo? or Sylvia Joan?

    I LOVE Sylvie! It's on my favorites list, but as Sylvia with the nickname Sylvie. I also slightly prefer Sylvie, but I feel like it's too much of a nickname and if I were to use it, my daughter might like having the formality of Sylvia for when she's older. Sylvie Claire is cute and I like it, but I think Sylvia Claire adds a little more sophistication. Many people go by their nicknames almost exclusively, including myself. It doesn't mean I wish my birth name was my nickname because it's just not as professional. I like having a more relaxed name to go by with my friends and family while having a "nicer" version of my name for work purposes.

    I like Sylvia much better, but Sylvie Josephine is the best combo you have.

    Sylvie is a nickname and sounds like it. When is Sylvie not a nickname for Sylvia? Regardless I don't like either name at all. It is not b/c it is old fashioned, I just think it's terribly ugly.

    As far as the middle names go, Clara is a 3/10 name for me, always makes me think of a cow like Clara Bell and Josephine is one of the ugliest names ever IMO.

    I'm not a fan of Sylvie. It sounds too nickname-ish. I do love Clara Josephine though. Very classy and beautiful.
