Silver

Funnily enough, I named my second daughter Silver on the last day of 2016. Checking SS records, it was *the highest* year of this name...ever, in America, with like 16 babies total for the while country.
I consider it a girl's name. Very unique, at the time. I had never heard of a person being given this name.
My daughter is Silver Silver Solstice. People stop and ask me if they heard right, 'Silver?' I say yes. They tell me *so beautiful*. Then, if she goes running about and I call her full name...they say, "Silver Solstice, wow...you *won.*"
I am not looking to 'win,' but rather gave my child, born on New Year's Eve, a name to ascribe the thoughts and feelings as I was trying to name her.
Moonlight on snow...is Silvern. And she would be born around Solstice (which is why they put Christmas where they DID in the calendar)
Luckily, I have no more children. Who knows what they'd be named at this point!
But EVERY strange human who hears her name, loves it. And it rings out, like a bell. Silver Bells. Like her nickname.

I personally have this name. I’m non-binary, and I chose it myself. It’s a very good name for gender neutral usage!

Oh, I think Silver is such an incredibly gorgeous name. So graceful yet boldly strong at the same time. Beautiful.

I really like the name. It sound a lot like a cool fictional character. I would name a kid it. But I would definitely consider it a girl's name.

Silver is a girl’s name too! Not solely for boys! I’m not saying that Silver sucks as a boy’s name, but I think this name should say Masculine & Feminine! Don’t worry. It’s still masculine, but I think it’s more feminine in my opinion! Silver is a unique name for a boy, AND a girl. [noted -ed]

To me Silver is a female name. I just don’t get calling a guy Silver- I mean don’t get me wrong, it's adorable but I thing it’s a neat girl name, that’s all.

I don't like this name, but I do think it sounds very feminine. I would only use this name for a girl.

I don't love Silver as a name. I guess most names with even usage for both genders I dislike, but I really dislike Silver and Sterling as well. Silviu is much better in my opinion.

A very wonderful modern name. Although, please please please, don't name a male this! It is very feminine. Also Sylver is a much better variant.

Not really a name... unless he's a statue...

I used to think it was a (soft, serene, if silly) girl's name; now I have a (quick-tempered, devious, male) friend called Silver. I will never forget our awkward introduction.

Me: (looking around) "So, who're your cousins?"
Other Friend: "[other cousin's name] and Silver [surname]. Well - I see [other cousin's name]'s car, anyway."
Silver: (walking up behind me, I didn't know at the time)
Me: "Silver?! Wow - um - that's a pretty name. Where is she?"
Silver: (stops, angry) "HE'S here!"

As much as I like Sil, it saves a LOT of embarrassment and hassle if you give a kid a name that's obviously masculine or obviously feminine. Maybe Silver could be a nickname for Sylvester.

Well my first name is Silver & I'm a female! I find it rather offensive for you to say it's corny and tacky! I sure as hell don't have issues with my self esteem! Every person I meet thinks I have one of the prettiest names! I don't think it's masculine at all!

The reason it's listed as masculine is because it is masculine; just take a look at the popularity. If you like this on a girl so much, maybe go for Silvia or Silverlyn? (I apologise to those who hate suffixes on names.) At least something that looks and sounds feminine.
I think it's funny that someone said a while back that they used this name on noble characters, because I sure didn't! I used it for the evil guy and it works just fine on him. (Silv is a possible nickname.)

This is an awesome girls name! WHY IS IT MASCULINE?

I think this name sounds really cool, for either gender, but I agree with the person who said it isn't very realistic. I'd love to use Silver as a character's name, though.

Silver is corny as a name. It makes me think of a male stripper.

The name sounds nice, but the fact that it's a color makes it rather tacky. Plus, many people may mistake it as a feminine name.

Seems simply silly to me.

Sounds more like a name you would find in a fantasy book than a real life name. I like it, but it's just not realistic.

Well, it's better than Golda and Goldie, bwahaha. But it still sounds very bizarre as a name, especially on a female. It sounds like a nickname for a Sylvester, and the ending -er usually sounds more ''natural'' in masculine usage. I like silver jewelry, and I much prefer silver to gold and bronze, but come on now, Silver?! As a name for a person?! Use this on a pet instead. A person with this name might be teased, and even worse, they might have credibility issues.

I love this name for a boy. I used this name several times for my male characters. It sounds like such a noble name to me.
