Does the name Silas Curtis sound horrible?

I am NOT asking if you like the name Silas. I am just interested in whether the first and last name is too much of a mouthful.

( I am back on hold an hour into a call to Sirius and they want me to wait 7-10 days for them to issue a refund they supposedly started on June 2nd.)

IMO it is too much of a mouthful

MirandaLea29 · June 2010

I think it's a bit of a mouth full and I love the name Silas (even though you didn't ask Smile

)

SoCaliAli · June 2010

I don't think it's horrible, but it is a bit of a mouthful.

ETA: but what do I know? Most of our family hated our name choice because his first and last name both have only one syllable.

robinsokj · June 2010

I think it looks like more of a mouthful than it actually is once you say it

BostonGayGal · June 2010

I knew it was, but wanted it not to be. Oh well.

Cecil, Rupert, Simon, Marvin, Edgar, Stuart, Martin, Abner?

I love Solomon, but that is a bit much.

joanithegreat · June 2010

Mouthful-wise it think it is okay. FWIW I like the name Silas.

robinsokj · June 2010

ooooh. I really like Simon

Lambie. · June 2010

I will admit I don't know how to pronounce it, but if it rhymes my vote is no. I love Simon and think it sounds good with your last name.

BostonGayGal · June 2010

Basil is another favorite, but I worry too many people would pronounce it as if he were an herb.

swimrbride · June 2010

I think it is a mouthful but love Simon.

Out of these I like Simon, Edgar, Stuart and Martin. I think those would all go well with Curtis too.

The only reason I know how to pronounce it is b/c of the Da Vinci Code

griffenhc · June 2010

I don't really like the way names sound if the first and last both end with the same letter, especially if they are the same length. Sorry

ETA: SUPER love Simon Curtis. Sounds like an intellectual hottie, you know - James Bond style.

"the rich ate and drank freely, accepting gout and apoplexy as things that ran mysteriously in respectable families"

You guys didn't read enough George Eliot. "Silas Marner" is a great story of a miser whose money is stolen who comes across a small child whose mother has died. He raises her and it opens his heart.

It's a bit to sing-song-y for me.

But I love the name Silas (due mainly to the character from Weeds!).

blondie42107 · June 2010

I like Silas but it does sound like there might be too many S's between the two names.

This. But I do love your naming style. What are your girl name choices?

Girl options:

Eloise Sarah/ Eloise Jeannine (middle names after family)

or

Phoebe Eloise (A's favorite)

Simon Curtis Yes or Cecil Curtis Yes

caffinated_tulip · June 2010

I

Silas, but the sound of the names together sounds funny to me. I feel like Silas, because it's a very smooth sounding name should have something crisp after it. Mark is a crisp name, though I'm not crazy about Mark with Silas.

BrookeNicole09 · June 2010

I just don't like the way both names end in the same kind of "as" and "is" sound.

Mrs_Liberto · June 2010

BFF just named her son Silas Ender.

I love it!

Ooh, and Eloise is awesome too. I'm not sold on Phoebe.

As in Ender's Game? Awesome.
