It's all boy to me, too. Don't know if I'd even use it on a boy, though, because it just makes me think of a snail (not sure why!) or Silas Marner.

Nmsaa (& I like masculine names on girls)

Hmm, I'm not sure it really works on a girl, but it might grow on me. Silas is not a name I've ever given any thought to, even on a boy. So I'm more or less neutral towards it.

One thing-- I'm not sure it works with your other children's names, style-wise. It's just got a very different feel to it, though you might not mind that :-)

No totally a boys name to me

No way! Silas is a definite boy name.

I find it unattractive for a boy or a girl.

I don't like the name- at all, but jmo. It could work on a girl. I really don't like it though. Really, really. It sounds sorta snake-like to me.

Stylistically I don't think it fits well with your other children's names at all.

I'm too lazy to think of a clever signature.

I really don't like it for a girl or boy..but it's worse on a girl. Please no.

I can get behind some odd boy-to-girl names...(m)

Like Chester. And Edwyn. But Silas isn't one of them. I don't like it on either sex--it sounds like "silo" and just isn't very attractive.

---

Maybe something with a similar sound would work? It's not a name, but I always thought Silesia would make a neat name for a girl. Of course, it's not at all in your usual style--but I'm sure there's something similar sounding that's not nearly so...icky.

No.

Silas is completely and totally masculine. There is no way it could work on a girl. I'm really sorry...but I just cannot see it.

Hmm, Silas isn't bad. It doesn't exactly fit in with the sibs names though. But it could work. : )
