Thoughts on these 3 bots names

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Can I please have opinions on the following 3 boys names

Hamish

Tobias

Silas

Thanks

I always read Hamish as Ham-ish like a person who looks sort of similar to ham

Mekon

Hamish - nice but would assume a scottish connection
Tobias - ok, Tob-eye-as or Tob-ee-as? Will get Toby or Tobes
Silas - ok. Silas Marner

I like all three but they are quite different. Tobias is probably the 'safe' choice.

Hamish makes me think of a pretentious bore in a velvet jacket who bores everyone talking about himself. (I think this is related to a movie I must have seen.)

Tobias is ok

Silas is not to my taste.

Love all three of them.

So nice to see some 'different' choices.

I love love love Toby/Tobias
Silas just makes me think of farming equipment
Hamish - only if you are Scottish and/or a dog.

I like Hamish best, but I think you need Scottish links to use it.
Tobias is fine.
Silas is awful.

Love Hamish!
Dont mind Tobias but there's lots of them at my kids school so that puts me off.
Don't like Silas

Hamish - horrid

Tobias - I love Toby but always think Tobias sounds a bit fussy / pompous

Silas - LOVE this! Would have been DS2’s name if it had gone with our surname. Fab name

There were two Hamishs in my Essex baby group ten years ago with no obvious connections to Scotland, so I am not sure you do need to have Scottish connections, nor do I think it is a "joke" name. (I think both Hamish parents had thought they were giving a unique name so were a little put out by the other).

But I like Tobias the best of your names.

Hamish - nice

Tobias -lovely but I’m not a fan of Toby so wouldn’t personally (although it’s fine)

Silas - my favourite - Silas is both good in crisis and somewhat poetic I think

All of them good for robots and boys, or robot boys

I don't like Silas. It makes me think slimy and sly.
The word 'slimy' comes to my mind too but I have no idea why!
Tobias seems a bit 'try hard' as my children would say.
Hamish is a good name but I would expect them to b

Oops!
I would expect them to be Scottish.

I love Hamish but no Scottish links so can’t use it. Tobias is lovely too, the one I knew of was just Tobias, never Toby. I don’t like Silas

This for the win.

Hamish is a great name. I'm Scottish and every Hamish I've met has been a decent bloke so I'm biased.

Tobias - hmmm trying to be a posh Toby. It's ok. Not great.

Silas - nope. Silage. Sylar from Heroes - no!

Tobias - really like it.

Hamish - it's OK but you have to be a bit Scottish for it to work really.

Silas - can't get past Silas Marner which I did for GCSE.

... I am not sure you do need to have Scottish connections
You don't need to have a Scottish connection, but you'll probably get asked a lot if you have one.
