This bit I cover in the "Shortening Names" section of the page..

Firstly, if you do plan on adding your OC's here on the wiki and go through the reviewing process (whether you plan to RP with them, or just want some constructive criticism), Silvester's allusion to "Silver" would fall under reviewer discretion (in other words, depending on who does the judging they may or may not give it the seal of approval); HOWEVER Silvester itself means "of the forest" so it works out as a name by itself.

Otherwise Don works out fine, falling under "Makes you think of a color" in the CNR when you think of "Dawn".
