What do you think of [name_m]Silas[/name_m]?
What kind of kid to you envision? Or what does it make you think of?
Thanks in advance for your input!
I like [name_m]Silas[/name_m]…sounds like a mild-mannered, hard working, obedient kid. The only negative I can think of would be the [name_m]Jr[/name_m]. high required reading list book–[name_m]Silas[/name_m] Marner (which I avoided reading, but no one ever said anything positive about it).
Ok I don’t know why and I realize it’s irrational, but all I can think when I hear the name [name_m]Silas[/name_m] is “evil”. I even know an adorable little boy named [name_m]Silas[/name_m], but I can’t shake it. I’m sorry 
I have known 2, and they were both musical and free-spirited so that’s what I think of
[name_f]LOVE[/name_f] this name. Trying had to convince my husband to use if we have a boy but I think he feels it’s a bit too different…even though he does like it. I love the nickname [name_u]Si[/name_u]. And yes, I am a huge Duck Dynasty fan so the name brings up really hard working, country values for me. I love it. I’ve heard people on here mention the evil thing before and I’m not sure where it comes from but there must be some reason. I’ve never actually met anyone w/ this name in real life.
I really love this name. I couldn’t get my husband on board though.
Best of luck!
It is the name of my 14 day old son so obviously I love it. 
i think it is a strong and gentle name.
For those who said it sounded a bit like a “baddies” name - I do sort of get that but it clearly didnt put me off… 
I think of my former best friend’s adorable son, when I hear [name_m]Silas[/name_m]. It seems like a gentle name, that he’s going to be a mischievous and just sweet in general. Have never really thought about using it, but well, I can’t.
I really like this name! If it didn’t go against my initials rule, it would definitely be on my list haha I picture an adorable, energetic, sweet kid with dark hair Ahhh. I love it. [name_f]Love[/name_f] it love it love it.
[name_u]Ever[/name_u] since I read [name_m]Dan[/name_m] Browns Da [name_m]Vinci[/name_m] Code I connect the name [name_m]Silas[/name_m] with that blond evil monk, that’s why I don’t like the name but of course that’s just my opinion and if you really like the name you should use it despite what other people might associate with it
Its so funny that people associate the name to “bad” or “evil” I would have never even thought of that…
Then only name I think of as evil is [name_m]Daemon[/name_m] but only because it is so close to demon! haha!
Thanks for the input! [name_f]Glad[/name_f] to hear Im not the only one who really likes it!
I love [name_m]Silas[/name_m]! It does have an artsy, musical vibe for me as well. I think of both the [name_m]New[/name_m] Testament [name_m]Silas[/name_m] as well as the boy with that name that I knew growing up.
I love [name_m]Silas[/name_m]. Its one of my top boy names with the middle name [name_u]Max[/name_u].
I love the name, but I’m biased! We just named our 3rd child [name_m]Silas[/name_m]. He is 5 months old and a super cutie - full of smiles and giggles! The name is perfect for our family. We wanted a nature name that didn’t scream “hippy” so it would fit with 2 older sibling names. This name came to me in a dream. In the Greek it means from the forest and in the Latin it means the third. We call him [name_u]Si[/name_u] for short. Surprisingly, some people mispronounce his name, saying [name_m]Silas[/name_m] with a short i, rhyming with [name_f]Phyllis[/name_f].
@tangocaomper…
just out of curiosity what are your other kids names? maybe it will inspire me!
