HelpSilas
Hey, just wondering what people think of the name Silas. I stumbled onto it today I really like it! It has the "Sy" sound that's so popular with other names today like Kylie, Miley, Milo, Tyler,Skyler, etc. but it's not at trendy (yet, I guess). I also love it's meaning "of the forest" because I honestly think it's just kind of funny. Like a hobit or something (just my sense of humor). Anyway, just wondering what people think of this name. I like it because it sounds classic but still just sounds good and is fun to say. I also could imagine this name on a lot of people and I think it ages well. Any combos people like? General thoughts on the name? Thanks!
It's funny, I stumble onto so many boy's names that I love and can never find a girl's name that I'm as crazy about. Ever happen to anyone else?

I love Silas. It's one of my favorites for a boy. It sounds strong and handsome to me, but at the same time, it has a gentleness about it without seeming "soft." I love its meaning as well.
Silas Remiel and Silas Malachy are two of my favorite Silas combos.
I used to have a harder time with names for girls, but now it seems like there are more girl names that I'd actually want to use than boy names.

I like Silas. I think it's classic sounding but would fit in with those other names (except for the "as" ending, which is what makes it so soft and classic and likeable!)
I like the way it sounds and the meaning (and the look of it too). I especially like that it doesn't sound like one of those trendy "look at me I'm so masculine" names-- it's just silent and secure and pretty. I can picture it on a lot of people, but I think a Silas would have to have a calm demeanor above all else.

I think I like Cyrus a little more, nn Cy. For a while I didn't like it due to the move "One Hour Photo". The creepy guys name is Cy. But I do like the name of it and I realized the movie is not all that mainstream. At least most people I talk to haven't heard of it or never saw it. So it's growing on me.
Silas is still nice though, but once you mentioned the popular/trendy sound, I'm rethinking both names. I hate trendy and popular....
And yes, I love such a variety of boys names and I there or few "decent" boys names I really don't like. For girls, it's the exact opposite. My taste is all over not because I love all of them, but because most of them I loathe and there are so few I like that.
