Sylvanus
I saw the name Sylvanus in a book. I think it’s pretty cool, but I’m not sure it’s usable. Thoughts?

I love this. In real life, I'd use Sylvan as a first name. Sylvanus is usable as a middle name with a shorter/simpler first name.
It’s okay. I wouldn’t use except for a book character though. For a child I prefer Silvio.
I find Sylvanus pleasant and nerdy, but it's only usable as a name for a fictional character.
I don't find it usable in real life because of... well, the ending; it's a shame because it's a nice name. :(
However, there is Sylvan, which is a modern variant and I like it more. This one is definitely usable and could fit in with Aidans, Matthews and Xanders.

Don't like it
It's so cool! Saturnine but also slinky...
I don't think it's that unusable. "-us" names are popular, and "Syl" isn't a cumbersome opening.
