I like it. I can picture it fitting in fine among kids named things like Sebastian and Gratian and Lucian. Sylvain would seem super-French here (try-hard and difficult, on someone who didn't speak French) but Sylvan does not. Sylvan's about as much a poetic word as Trinity or Constance is, so I don't think something like Sylvan Learning Center wrecks it at all. IMO, things like that only bother people when a name is just a name on paper, and stop when they meet a real person with a name.

I like Silvan and it looks more Roman. But Sylvan seems more conventional... dunno. I guess if I were a man with the name, I'd rather be Silvan.
