Silver

Funnily enough, I named my second daughter Silver on the last day of 2016. Checking SS records, it was *the highest* year of this name...ever, in America, with like 16 babies total for the while country.
I consider it a girl's name. Very unique, at the time. I had never heard of a person being given this name.
My daughter is Silver Silver Solstice. People stop and ask me if they heard right, 'Silver?' I say yes. They tell me *so beautiful*. Then, if she goes running about and I call her full name...they say, "Silver Solstice, wow...you *won.*"
I am not looking to 'win,' but rather gave my child, born on New Year's Eve, a name to ascribe the thoughts and feelings as I was trying to name her.
Moonlight on snow...is Silvern. And she would be born around Solstice (which is why they put Christmas where they DID in the calendar)
Luckily, I have no more children. Who knows what they'd be named at this point!
But EVERY strange human who hears her name, loves it. And it rings out, like a bell. Silver Bells. Like her nickname.

I personally have this name. I’m non-binary, and I chose it myself. It’s a very good name for gender neutral usage!

Oh, I think Silver is such an incredibly gorgeous name. So graceful yet boldly strong at the same time. Beautiful.

I really like the name. It sound a lot like a cool fictional character. I would name a kid it. But I would definitely consider it a girl's name.

Silver is a girl’s name too! Not solely for boys! I’m not saying that Silver sucks as a boy’s name, but I think this name should say Masculine & Feminine! Don’t worry. It’s still masculine, but I think it’s more feminine in my opinion! Silver is a unique name for a boy, AND a girl. [noted -ed]

To me Silver is a female name. I just don’t get calling a guy Silver- I mean don’t get me wrong, it's adorable but I thing it’s a neat girl name, that’s all.

I don't like this name, but I do think it sounds very feminine. I would only use this name for a girl.

I don't love Silver as a name. I guess most names with even usage for both genders I dislike, but I really dislike Silver and Sterling as well. Silviu is much better in my opinion.

I think Silver is a beautiful name, strong and absolutely awesome! It fits both genders, and it's not tacky or corny. Really, it's not an ugly name, why do so many people hate it? It has a marvelous sound and it's not silly or bizarre. It's my favorite name, a character created by me has this name too. It makes me really angry that so many people dislike the name Silver. And I don't understand why someone could have problems because of it. This comment section is full of people that hate this name, while other comment sections of awful names are full of people that love them. I don't get it.

A very wonderful modern name. Although, please please please, don't name a male this! It is very feminine. Also Sylver is a much better variant.

Not really a name... unless he's a statue...

I used to think it was a (soft, serene, if silly) girl's name; now I have a (quick-tempered, devious, male) friend called Silver. I will never forget our awkward introduction.

Me: (looking around) "So, who're your cousins?"
Other Friend: "[other cousin's name] and Silver [surname]. Well - I see [other cousin's name]'s car, anyway."
Silver: (walking up behind me, I didn't know at the time)
Me: "Silver?! Wow - um - that's a pretty name. Where is she?"
Silver: (stops, angry) "HE'S here!"

As much as I like Sil, it saves a LOT of embarrassment and hassle if you give a kid a name that's obviously masculine or obviously feminine. Maybe Silver could be a nickname for Sylvester.

Well my first name is Silver & I'm a female! I find it rather offensive for you to say it's corny and tacky! I sure as hell don't have issues with my self esteem! Every person I meet thinks I have one of the prettiest names! I don't think it's masculine at all!

The reason it's listed as masculine is because it is masculine; just take a look at the popularity. If you like this on a girl so much, maybe go for Silvia or Silverlyn? (I apologise to those who hate suffixes on names.) At least something that looks and sounds feminine.
I think it's funny that someone said a while back that they used this name on noble characters, because I sure didn't! I used it for the evil guy and it works just fine on him. (Silv is a possible nickname.)

This is an awesome girls name! WHY IS IT MASCULINE?

I think this name sounds really cool, for either gender, but I agree with the person who said it isn't very realistic. I'd love to use Silver as a character's name, though.

Silver is corny as a name. It makes me think of a male stripper.

The name sounds nice, but the fact that it's a color makes it rather tacky. Plus, many people may mistake it as a feminine name.

Seems simply silly to me.

Sounds more like a name you would find in a fantasy book than a real life name. I like it, but it's just not realistic.

Well, it's better than Golda and Goldie, bwahaha. But it still sounds very bizarre as a name, especially on a female. It sounds like a nickname for a Sylvester, and the ending -er usually sounds more ''natural'' in masculine usage. I like silver jewelry, and I much prefer silver to gold and bronze, but come on now, Silver?! As a name for a person?! Use this on a pet instead. A person with this name might be teased, and even worse, they might have credibility issues.

I love this name for a boy. I used this name several times for my male characters. It sounds like such a noble name to me.
