Behind the name: The Silver Tint.
I understand that this definetly isn't a name that you would run into everyday. Even though, I have always wanted to name my site this. It is mainly because I thought it was a pretty name, and did have a lot to do with things in this world today.
This name mainly talks about that little speck of good, that little dot in the sky, etc. It is saying that there is so much bad in this world. However, even with all of the dark clouds covering, the silver tint will shine through. It is well summed up in one of my favorite lines for the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. It is right after Frodo Baggins asks, "What are we holding onto Sam?" Then, Sam replies, "That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
How I found the name is probably a very unique way of finding it. I found it in the middle of the famous poem called: "Don't Quit." It is in the third stanza, and I will let you find it from there.

DON'T QUIT
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill.
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow --
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out --
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit --
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!
