Cyrus or Silas?

[Stellan]

Current favourites - which do you prefer and why?

Silas - It's been one of my favourites since that programme about the orphaned gypsy boy on CBBC in the mid eighties. I had a big crush on him.

Not Cyrus - you'd have to cut his hair into a mullet!!

I prefer Silas to Cyrus. As a child of the 1990s, Billy Ray's mullet still haunts me ...

Also, I prefer how Silas looks written down. Cyrus looks awkward (it's the c and y close together, I think).

Cyrus. Silas reminds me of the murderer on hollyoaks (yep, I still watch it, and no i'm not a teenager!)

Cyrus reminds me of John Malkovich's character in Con Air. He was nice.

Silas is my fave!

Cyrus is much nicer.Silas has an ugly sound.

Silas is a real name.

Well spotted, lisaro. Are you implying that Cyrus isn't?

Neither for me! Silas is a serial killer on Hollyoaks, and Cyrus is too Miley/Billy Ray-esque.

I had a childhood friend called Silas everybody called him silage (we did live in Somerset farming country)

Silas. Great old Biblical name.

Cyrus, lovely latinate name, but you will always have to spell it and it will get muddled by Sirius (Harry Potter) But I still love it.

Cyrus is lovely! Classic strong and not overused name.
Silas sounds like silo or is it pronounced Seelas?

Silas! It's lovely. Cyrus is Cyrus the virus the baddie from con air to me

Neither.

Cyrus, it sounds much nicer. Silas sounds like slime.

Cyrus is lovely.
