Perdón, pero sigo sin ver clara la pregunta. Sería importante conocer el contexto. ¿Quién le dice "silly" a quién? ¿Qué ocurrió antes? ¿Cuál es la relación entre los dos? Si quieres que te ayudemos tienes que darnos la información que tienes.

Tontín/ Bobito

Un diminutivo puede hacer mucho más familiar o suavizar la palabra.
