Sylvester

Wooded Latin name

Sylvester is a male given name, from Latin meaning "of the forest." Three popes bore this name.

In American pop culture, Sylvester is the cartoon cat perpetually chasing Tweety Bird, known for his lispy Sufferin' succotash!

The name peaked in the early 20th century and now sounds old-fashioned.
