Your girl names are both pretty (LOVE Grace), but a little too popular for me. Again, they are pretty though. When I hear Avery, I think girl.. probably because there are 3 little girls named Avery just in our complex!
I love both Ava and Sophia, but both are very popular names - so not sure if that bothers you!
Silas is NMS. I love Avery, and it really is a boys name, but unfortunately its a boys name turned girls name now I think (that trend really annoys me!!). Your son would probably be a in a class with more girl Avery's then boy Avery's.

Ava Grace and Sophia Grace are total snoozers, imo. They're just SO overdone. And Grace = the Marie of this generation (aka, a filler). Unless it has family meaning for you, I think it's kind of a blah choice.
I like Silas a lot. Very nice. I think Avery for a boy is cruel at this point, it's very popular for little girls and I don't see anything good about giving a boy a name he'll share with many female classmates, even if the name IS traditionally male.

Girls names are both beautiful but very poplular. I have a neice name Ava Grace and have always thought it was so pretty. I have a Jackson so popularity doesn't really bother me ...

Couldn't agree more. If you don't mind your little girl being one of a zillion 'Ava Grace's' then you're fine. Rose, Grace, Marie, Mae.....it seems like just about everyone is using those for middle names. Ava, Ella, Emma, Sophie, Sophia are every other little girls first name. Like the PP stated, if it doesn't have meaning for you, I'd skip it. The cutesy common names don't do it for me in the fact that the girl has to grow up....and those type names don't really suite grown women imo. I really like Silas for a boy and agree that Avery for a boy is not so great, due to the overuse and popularity of the name for a girl.

x3 especially if Grace doesn't actually hold any meaning to you, with such a common FN I would really use a less common MN.
Your girl names are classic and beautiful. Unfortunately, they have all become so popular that I fear they will be the next Jennifer and Jessica names.
Silas isn't my style but could probably grow on me.
Avery I love for a boy. It used to be my top contender until it became so unisex. Now, I'm just not sure how I feel about it.
Re: opinons
thank you for your reply:)
Ava Grace, and I like Silas.
to Silas.

ava grace - popular but very pretty
sophia grace - Italian, popular but very pretty
Silas - not as different as you think. I know 7 kids with this name under 10 years old and I don't know a lot of kids.
Avery for a boy - LOVE it because it's a boys name.
Great name list
