I have loved this name ever since I first met a 6 year old boy with this name - that was around 10 years ago. I love that
Silas was probably a short form of
Silvanus. As much as I love the naturey woodsy
Silvanus it just seems a bit too over the top to actually use -
Silas feels much more usable. When I hear the name
Silas I always picture a boy or a man with green or hazel eyes.
My husband says that the name reminds him of snakes hissing and that it seems like the name of a villain. I think he pictures someone similar to Voldemort or possibly
Draco Malfoy. There was a villain named Xilus in the old Dungeon and Dragons movie that is pronounced very similar to
Silas. So I doubt we will ever have a son named
Silas.
