This is my dad's name. He was born in the USA in the '70s. I think it's handsome and I'd like to use it as a middle name if I ever have a son. People often mispronounce it as Sylvain and they're always very interested as to where it comes from. I like the connection to silvanus.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
