原文: What a cute name for a little boy and a strong name for a handsome youth. I really like this name. The fact it's under used just adds to its charm I think, personally :)
原文: In response, maybe it's more of a case of 'boy's name given to a girl' than Sylvester being truly a unisex name? I know the difference between the two can be subtle and it can be difficult to draw a line between them, but this does seem like it might be closer to the 'boy's name on a girl' category. I know in the American south there is a long history of girls being given a boy's name (sometimes as a single name and sometimes as a double-barreled name with a more feminine name. Like Carter-Anne or Dale-Mary. Usually the masculine name is a family name, sometimes a surname in the family), and we all know girls/women, or know stories of girls/women, given boys names because her parents had wanted or expected a boy, or perhaps because dad wanted a namesake, but it was unlikely that they would have more children. My own great- grandmother's name was Archie. She was the last of 9 kids, all girls. Her sisters all had quite feminine, if dated, names. My great-grandmother was named Archie because it was the name they'd picked for a boy, and not only were they out of ideas for girl names, they also knew they were unlikely to have any more children, so no hope of a boy named Archie.I've encountered other girls/women from the same time period named Archie in my genealogy research or while wandering old cemeteries, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that Archie was a unisex name in the American South at the turn of the century.I think perhaps Sylvester falls in to this category as well. Not so much a unisex name as a masculine name that was occasionally given to girls.

翻译文: 查看出生和洗礼在英国的记录,从16世纪到20世纪,似乎有时给予女孩。实例(可通过Ancestry&FamilySearch访问):Sylvester Banes(以1596年为基础)Sylvester Ann Buer(出生于1858年)所以在这个意义上,西尔维斯特和西尔维斯特在过去的日子里都是男女通用的名字,尽管对男孩给予了更多。
原文: Looking at records of births and christenings in England from 16th to the 20th century, it seems that it was sometimes given to girls.EXAMPLES (accessible via Ancestry & FamilySearch):Sylvester Banes (christened in 1596)Sylvester Ann Buer (born in 1858)So in that sense, both Silvester and Sylvester were unisex names back in the olden days, though given more, slightly, to boys.
原文: An AMAZING name! I love Sylvester the Cat (he is awesome!). Sylvester Stallone is a great namesake plus a brilliant actor. These are my reasons why I think Sylvester is such a cool name. :D.

原文: I really quite like this name, in all honesty, although it does remind me of the black-and-white cat, and the Rocky movies, but despite this, I really think it is rather quite a nice name. :-)
