Help[Opinions] Re: Silas
in reply to a message by queenv
I don't like it. The sound of it evokes silence, soulless, eyeless, and Silurian. And I think it seems sort of petulant and slick because of the sound (that is the thing about it that made me decide I really disliked it in the first place - hearing it said aloud in real life as some kid's name). Seems more like a villain who is weak and chaotic, rather than one who is shrewd and evil.
If I don't think about it too hard, it's just another old name coming back into fashion. I thought I liked it, a few years ago. And it's superficially kinda similar to Cyrus, which I like. I think an adult Silas would be obviously a self-named person, because the name has been too rare and is now fashionable. Possibly fine for the former Sarah, but I would have encouraged him to call himself Sean instead.
