Re: Silva
in reply to a message by Ani
It's okay. I could like it in the right combo.
But my instinct is to read the V as a W, because my only frame of reference for it is Latin.
And when I pronounce the V, it sounds annoyingly like Silver (which makes Silva Sterling as a combo comical).
My favorites of your combos were Silva Marlowe and Silva Henri.
The first combos I thought of for each gender were Silva Rosamere and Silva Oberon.
(I liked Silva Nicomedes, of the other suggestions.)
My first association with Silver is Long John Silver's. So, pirates. Then...anime? for some reason. I don't particularly like it.
