Dear Silas,
We have selected Silas as you name – we hope you
appreciate its uniqueness and don’t hate us forever for giving you a name that
is, currently, not common. We wanted you to have a name that stood out - one
that sounded powerful yet sweet. We wanted a name that people would hear and it
would start a conversation -- one that people would remember (perhaps spark a
creative thought).
When we tell people what name we have chosen for
you we get a variety of looks and comments (1) "oh, that's interesting (2)
that's really cool or (3) tell me more about that name....
Silas \s(i)-las\ as a
boy's name is pronounced SYE-las. It is
of Latin origin. Short form of Silvanus, from
a Greek name meaning "forest, woods". Biblical:
Silas was a missionary companion to Paul and Timothy. Used by
the Puritans.
So there you have it.....that is the story behind
your name.
We love you beyond words,
Mama, Dada & Ellie
