I was just thinking about the name
Silas last night (it's in a children's song on our CD for the car).
I can't decide on it. Part of me loves it for being so slick and smooth, but part of me thinks it a whimpy sound. I guess I can see the snakiness of the name now that you mention it, but I wouldn't have thought it sinister before.
I think it more frilly almost, lacking solidity.
I guess I do still like the name because it is so different than the names you often hear, and it has a decent history of use and the biblical reference. It's not my favorite, but it's a name I would appreciate on someone else.
If I had to change my name from
Sarah, I probably wouldn't choose
Silas when there are more bold and unexpected choices like Silvan,
Solomon,
Simon or
Sylvester.
