Those "OMG QQ other people baby names suxx!" sites are really not taste-based, nor very cool. You have to ask, what kind of insecurely superior attitude motivates a person to compile such a list? What kind of wank is it supposed to be, to read them and groan? Sile is not "disastrous," any more than Caoimhe or, for heavensakes, than SEAN is. Instead of saying "some people would probably place Sile as a bad name" why don't you just come clean and say "MY reaction to it is that it looks silly because it doesn't look like Sheila, it looks to me like it rhymes with vile, and I would think it was a bad name if I met someone named that," or whatever you really feel. Own it! Don't try to project your reaction onto the general population as if you're somehow plugged in to what is tasteful. You don't need to. Your own personal opinion of the name is what you're supposed to post. We all recognize that your one opinion is most likely representative of more people, anyways.
