Silas

[17caterpillars1mouse]

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

Silas Marner, a bad reminder of GCSE lessons!

I was coming on to say 'nice, but worryingly evil sounding' and I thought I'd be the only one!!!

I really like it. Would never have got it past DH though.

Cyrus and Sirius are lovely alternatives if we have all been too negative OP!

Sounds like something out of X men movie, or a villain in a Harry Potter book

I do like Cyrus and Sirius.

I really don't like Silas, makes me thing of Silas Marner which to me sounds the name of someone mean (never read the book).

Met a little boy called Silas about 20 years he was 8 and I remember clearly wondering why they had given their lovely son such an ugly name

Would be interesting to know if there is a linguistic study in the sounds in names and their popularity.

Not keen, sorry. It remind me of Silage

I love the name Silas. Had it towards the top of my list but my husband wasn't so keen. I think it's an awesome name.

I like it! Know one, he's 8 and lives in Oz.

I have a Cyrus, mainly because we had to choose a Persian non-religious name and Darius was de trop I prefer it to Silas tbh - sounds like a name from Deliverance.

I'm not keen...a cross between silage and ass.

Serial killer

I know two

I like it. Silas Marner is my association too- I didn't think silage, and I am blessedly ignorant of the goings on in Hollyoaks.

I love Silas, I knew a guy at college with the name and we still talk from time to time, hes such a sweetheart that it still makes me smile when I hear the name.

The first pig to fly 🐷

I really like it. Makes me think of Silas Marner too.

Sounds villainous to me.

I think Silas was the villain in Heroes.
