What are your thoughts on Silas? Do you know any?

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

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.

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?

Love it

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.

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

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

Sigh-lass.

PopcornBits · 21/09/2017 09:32

How is it pronounced?

bridgetreilly · 21/09/2017 09:30

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

ChocolateCrunch · 21/09/2017 08:50

Not the nicest sounding of names.

Bad guy from Heroes

Tilapia · 21/09/2017 08:40

I think of Silas Marner

NataliaOsipova · 21/09/2017 08:39

Marner

KoolKoala07 · 21/09/2017 08:37

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

SinglePringle · 21/09/2017 08:37

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

IStoleThisUsername · 21/09/2017 08:36

Only the serial killer from Hollyoaks

greendale17 · 21/09/2017 08:36

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