Opinions on these names?

I find out soon what I'm having. The names I have picked out are Silas lane for a boy, and Adelaide for a girl. Opinions?!!

Re: Opinions on these names?

  • Both are a bit unique for my style. The girl name is pretty, but Silas always makes me think of the albino villain in The Da Vinci code.

  • Yeah I'm a bit hesitant on Silas myself
  • I love the name Silas (but be prepared to be asked if you like the show Weeds a lot).  Adelaide isn't my style, but I still really like it.

  • I have always liked Adelaide, but DH vetoed it.  Silas is nms.

  • Silas is a sinister sounding name to me so I'm not a big fan of it.

  • I love the name Silas is sounds bad ass, but is also a good old name. Adelaide also has a nice ring to it and Addy (or however it's spelled) is a cute nickname IMO. The names are unique, but not to the point where you have people questioning WTF were their parents thinking. :) 
  • I love Adelaide, but my husband is Australian so he'd never go for it. That'd be like me calling the baby, Sacramento. Hehe.
    Silas is not my favourite name, but it's your choice. 
    My brother turned me towards this Freakonomics podcast. It made me think twice about some of my name choices. It's worth listening to.
  • I love Silas, its a country kinda name like Cecil. Adelaide is cute too. Silas is also my pick for a boy name. : )
  • Thanks everyone!!
  • I love Adelaide!!! I always wanted to have a little girl named Adelaide, but then my cousin used the name for his daughter, so I'll live vicariously through you if you get to use it.  ;) I like Silas, too. We have friends with a little boy named Silas and he's such a sweetie!

  • I like both!  I've known one of each and they were adorable kiddos!
  • Sounds like a really good idea! Never thought to look there :)
