Re: Silas
in reply to a message by Sarah Beth
I like Silas a lot. It use to be my second favorite boys name for a while but then Magnus jumped up to second and currently Arturus at second. Silas is still in my Top 5.
I like Cyrus but I much prefer Silas. I also like Cyprus and Cygnus.
Silas sounds so English or Irish to me. It also makes me think of the forest. I picture a scholarly person when I hear Silas. Maybe a scholar who studies forests. My partner doesn't like Silas because he's seen at least two movies where a villan was named Silas so he connects the name Silas with villans. I've met many cute babies recently named Silas so I don't have that connection enough to make me dislike it.
