[Opinions] Re: Silviu
in reply to a message by foxgloves
Hi foxgloves !!!
Silviu?
I figure a very serious and strick businessman in his 40s.
I much prefer other Romanian names...
Mircea
Adrian
Tudor
Traian
Radu
Mihai
Iulian
Vlad
Ştefan
If you like instead the -u ending I much prefer Iuliu, Petru or Alexandru to it.
Yes I think that few people in the English-speaking world would recognize it.
Here in Italy is different because we have the largest community of Romanians out of Romania so we are quite skilled with this kind of names (also because many of them are very close i.e. Silviu Romanian and Silvio Italian).
Anyway if you like the sound I suggest you Silvan which is simple and enough different to Silvia / Sylvia to be not confused with it.
