while watching "the interpreter" (love that movie) instead of doing homework, a question struck me:

silvia or sylvia?
other suggestions?

Silvia is the italian version, so I prefer Sylvia for the "extra touch"
Silvia looks too ordinary, Sylvia is more shiny.

Silvia (here) is a car model.
I prefer Sylvia, for some funny reason I always think 'saliva' when I see Silvia

I definitely like Sylvia better than Silvia ... but I like Sylvie better than either of those.

Heh, I noticed The Interpreter on last night, too. It brought back the time I saw it in theaters, and some man I didn't know came in halfway through the movie, passed all the empty rows, entered my aisle at the far end, and walked all the way down past at least 20 empty seats to sit right beside me. There were only six or seven other people in the entire theater, so he had his pick of seats. Never said a word to me, either. After the movie, my parents, who had come with me, kept teasing me about my quiet date.

Buuuut anyway...Sylvia for me, definitely. It's one of my top names. Silvia is lovely, as well, but just makes me think of the car.
