[Opinions] Re: Silva
in reply to a message by Ani
I like Silva on a girl, but just because it's a surname doesn't make it work on a boy, it sounds too feminine. I like Silvio for a boy. I like:
Silva Bronwen
Silva Colette
Silva Diana
Silva Iris
Silva Isis
Silva Jasmine
Silva Magdalen
Silva Miriana
Silva RhiannonFor the boys I like the sounds of these (and gender bends):
Silva Adrian - could also be a girl
Silva Amadeus - Silva Amadea for a girl
Silva Angel - could also be a girl
Silva Tiberius
Silva Tristan - Silva Tristane foe a girl?(Silva Xanthe is too "silver and gold" and Silva Sterling is too "sterling silver".) I like Silver as a nickname or full name for an animal but not as a full human name. I like Argenta for a girl and maybe Argent for a boy?

You’re right about Xanthe and Sterling, I didn’t make the connection at first (obviously).

I agreeSilva is not enough for masculine usage, IMO.
