  1. I really love the name Sybil. I first saw it on “The Worst Which”, spelt Cybil. I actually didn’t like it at first. Then when I watched Downton Abbey, I loved the sweet character Sybil. It wasn’t my favorite name until Sybil’s daughter Sybbie. Now it’s my favorite, along with Amanda. I recently heard of the movie Sybil, which made me a bit worried that people would make that association. But since that is an older movie people of my generation (gen z) probably won’t know about the movie. So when I’m an adult and have children, people hopefully won’t remember or know of the movie Sybil.

  3. We chose the name Sybil from the show Downton Abbey. We love that it is an older name, and we don’t love that a lot of people associate it with a horror movie.
