Re: Silas
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I have loved this name ever since I first met a 6 year old boy with this name - that was around 10 years ago. I love that Silas was probably a short form of Silvanus. As much as I love the naturey woodsy Silvanus it just seems a bit too over the top to actually use - Silas feels much more usable. When I hear the name Silas I always picture a boy or a man with green or hazel eyes.
My husband says that the name reminds him of snakes hissing and that it seems like the name of a villain. I think he pictures someone similar to Voldemort or possibly Draco Malfoy. There was a villain named Xilus in the old Dungeon and Dragons movie that is pronounced very similar to Silas. So I doubt we will ever have a son named Silas.
