Here's an up-and-coming name that has elements of current trends (retro and the letter "V") and a uniqueness all its own. It's a variant of Sylvia, which means "woods" or "forest."
One of the best things about this baby name is that it's very uncommon and yet it's easy to spell. It didn't show up in the top 1000 baby names in the 2010 census, but it's easily recognizable because of its similarity to Sylvia.
