Help[Opinions] Sibilla/Sybilla/Sibylla
I love this name but can't decide which spelling I prefer.
I like the simplicity of Sibilla but Sybilla is a a little fancier. And lately I like the weirdness of Sibylla, but don't love that it's the name of a fast food chain in Sweden.
Which do you prefer?

I prefer Sibylla because it's the original (Ancient Greek) (transliterated) form. It's one of my absolute favorite names.

Sibylla
Considering I prefer Sibyl to Sybil (though the latter seems to have more use), I prefer Sibylla to Sybilla. Putting the Y ahead makes me think it's supposed to be pronounced SIE-bil, for some reason.
And while I recognize this spelling would make more sense in other languages, to me Sibil / Sibilla has all the charm taken out with the Y removed.

Sybilla
Sybilla looks ‘right’ to my eyes. I like the Y to break the name up, and although Sibyl’s the original, Sybil(la) means more to me.

Sibilla
Although I love the name Sybil, I like the Sibilla spelling the most because it looks the cleanest and more modern out of the three imo.
