Your first name of Silvan has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature. You rebel at restrictions and are resourceful in unexpected circumstances. Generally, you do not like to waste time on superficial conversation. Your great initiative and driving power could lead you into sales and promotional positions. It gives you the desire to be a leader, to pioneer new undertakings, and to try new ideas in practical, creative occupations. You work best alone and are happiest when expressing your many ideas creatively in an area that offers flexibility and challenge. Therefore, if anyone interferes with your activities or offers unsolicited advice, you are inclined to react defensively and express your feelings in a blunt and, at times, caustic manner. As it is difficult for you to express the little attentions and niceties that appeal to more sensitive natures, you attract misunderstandings with those who do not appreciate your forthright manner. You become intensely involved with everything you plan to do, but the stress arising from frustrating obstacles or misunderstandings with others could prompt you to be intolerant and sarcastic in your expression, with breakdowns in congenial relations with family and friends a possible end result. This name spoils relaxation and contentment, the mental qualities necessary for good health.
