I love Silas and Silvanus. My question is, would it be better to have Silvanus nn Silas, or just drop either Silvanus or Silas?

Well, I pronounce Silas with an 'ay' and Silvanus with an 'ee' so I really don't see them as nicknames. I'd use just one of them.

I prefer just Silas.

Silvanus nn Silas. I love dramatic, colorful names with shorter, more simple nicknames.

I would use Silas. I love that name. I don't see Silas coming from Silvanus. Maybe Silva, but not Silas.
