Don't know any but I really don't like the name. It's not warm or likeable. Just uurrgghhh

IStoleThisUsername · 21/09/2017 08:36

Only the serial killer from Hollyoaks

SinglePringle · 21/09/2017 08:37

I do like it. Lovely. BUT.... it does make me think of silage...

KoolKoala07 · 21/09/2017 08:37

It always makes me think of the serial killer in hollyoaks.

NataliaOsipova · 21/09/2017 08:39

Marner

Tilapia · 21/09/2017 08:40

I think of Silas Marner

tehmina23 · 21/09/2017 08:42

Bad guy from Heroes

ChocolateCrunch · 21/09/2017 08:50

Not the nicest sounding of names.

bridgetreilly · 21/09/2017 09:30

I quite like it. It's a bit edgy but that could be cool.

PopcornBits · 21/09/2017 09:32

How is it pronounced?

bridgetreilly · 21/09/2017 09:33

Sigh-lass.

euanthesheepiloveyou · 21/09/2017 09:35

I hear Silage. Sorry OP. Want to like it though as it's underused.

Chatoyant · 21/09/2017 09:55

I know one who is a little cutie (he's 3) but I just can't warm to the name.

Jooni · 21/09/2017 11:39

I like it, even though the evil monk from The Da Vinci Code is the first Silas that springs to mind.

I think Justin Timberlake has a son called Silas too? I may be wrong. It's a cool name.

MumBod · 21/09/2017 12:13

Love it

Sunnydaysrock · 21/09/2017 12:16

There was a kids program on in the holidays when I was little called Silas. It was foreign and dubbed badly but I loved it. So I have fond memories when I hear that name, but not sure if that helps?

user1471495191 · 21/09/2017 12:18

I know one. It suits him and fits well with his surname. Wouldn't be my personal choice but I prefer unusual names, and it is nice when children have something a bit different.

Whatslovegottodo · 21/09/2017 12:19

It has negative connotations for me as serial killers unfortunately.

It also sounds like Silage.

I am really sorry I try not to be negative on name threads but I don't like Silas at all.

ArbitraryName · 21/09/2017 12:19

I though of Silas Heap (the dad from a series of books DS2 is listening to in the car currently).

PandorasXbox · 21/09/2017 13:43

Too similar to silage.

2014newme · 21/09/2017 13:45

Islas mariner. Sad

RandomMess · 21/09/2017 13:58

One of the very very names I dislike tbh

My ds is Cyrus. .
Though the first HV app she called him Cyprus ffs!!

Lookingtothehighlands · 21/09/2017 14:05

I like it. Infinitely better than lots of popular names at the moment.

99blueballoons · 21/09/2017 14:13

I really like this name and was on my list for if I had a ds. The only thing that put me off a little is how it seems to be disliked on mn.
