Help[Opinions] Sylvestra / Silvestra
I've been crushing hard on the name Sylvestra / Silvestra lately. I'm not as fond of the male form, Sylvester. So I'm not sure why Sylvestra is calling to me so much. While nn Sylvie would be darling, I love Sylvie on its own as well. Sylvestra / Silvestra just adds that extra bit of magic for me, I suppose.
Middle name ideas for Sylvestra / Silvestra are welcome. It's just for fun so swing for the fences if you'd like.
Are there names that *you* are particularly smitten with at the moment (any style / gender)?

It was one of my favorite names a year or two ago. I still like it, along with Silviana.

I seem to like it with N names. Niobe, Naomi, Nerys, Nadine...
Some feminine names that are relatively glittery to me at the moment...
Janet, Rowena, Regina, Gloria, Wanda, Olympia, Bernice, Verbena, Saturnina, Luminita, Zora, Jean, Amadea, Gardenia
EE sounds, retro, grandiose, naturey is my current girls' style.

Sylvestra/Silvestra is pretty, though not my style. I don’t like Sylvester that much, either,though I’ve always preferred Sylvan for some reason. I guess it’s simpler but still stylish, in a way.
Here are some combos for Sylvestra/Silvestra:
Sylvestra Roxanne
Sylvestra Ione
Sylvestra Lisette
Sylvestra Elise
Sylvestra Ismene
I’ve been intrigued by the name Vellamo, lately, and other feminine -o names like Socorro, Calypso, and Melano. They just sound very elegant, and Callisto has been a long-time favorite.

Sylvestra is so pretty, and has all features that I like in a name. It never stays very high on my radar; I always have to remind myself of its existence.
I too prefer it to Sylvester. Sylvest with no suffix is a family
surname for me, and I think it’s quite attractive
I think I like a romantic interpretation.
Sylvestra Rose
Nora Sylvestra
Sylvestra Josephine
Vivian Sylvestra
Olga Sylvestra

It’s quite striking. I associate it too much with Sylvester though which leads me to think of Stallone and the cartoon cat (not pretty associations!). I would like to meet one/see it used though so I could make new associations.
I prefer the trendier sounding Sylvana, which I find eliminates the above problem.
Sylvestra Agnes
Sylvestra Briony
Sylvestra Claudia
Sylvestra Edith
Sylvestra Graciana
Sylvestra Jane
Sylvestra Juniper
Sylvestra Maeveline

Sylvestra Agnes (Ines?), Sylvestra Jane, and Sylvestra Juniper are particularly fetching. Thanks!
If I can tweak, what about Sylvestra Claudine?
There's a British actress, Sylvestra LeTouzel, where I first fell in love with the name. She's usually in a supporting role, although she starred in "Mansfield Park" in 1983. Maybe she could give you a different association? :0)
