    Silas, hands down. I read Cassius as Cass-ee-us until I saw your pronunciation. I bet I'm not the only one who will too.

    Silas. I love this name.

    Cassius, even though I know the correct pronunciation, makes me hesitate every time I see it. 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    I really like them both but if I had to pick one I think that I would pick Silas.

    Silas.  My DH likes the name Cassius since before we were ever pregnant and I strongly dislike it.

    Silas, definitely. Even though I know the correct pronunciation, I still automatically think Cass-ee-us in my head.

    Cassius hands down!  I do not see the appeal of Silas at all, it is one of those names that just rubs me the wrong way.

    Yes

    When I see Silas, I think silo like a grain silo.  However, I am from the cornfields of the midwest.

    Silas! (: This was one of our boy choices if we were having a boy... but we're not. lol. Cassius will probably be pronounced wrong constantly.

    I like Silas. I also like Cassius but would be afraid of people nicknaming him Cash which sounds pretty trashy to me.

    I like both but would go with Silas just because of the obvious pronunciation.

    Thanks for all the replies! I am still torn. I guess we will see what he looks like when he comes out.
