Ryker (dh's preference)
Silas (my preference)

Ryker is a form of Richard and is a family name, and no, I'm not naming my baby Richard.

I just like Silas...
Mn would either be the other name or Landon (DH's mn).
Thoughts?

Silas. Ryker makes me think of the prison. Silas also goes better with your girls' names

100% Silas. No contest.

Silas 100%

Silas is great, I am a big fan of that name. Ryker is not good, I find it really harsh and ugly. Silas fits well with your daughters' names, Ryker not so much.

Silas, Richard, and Landon are all nice. Ryker is wrong to me for so many reasons.

*Swoon* These are gorgeous names. Say it to yourself..."Kate, Ava, and Ryker." Ryker is so harsh-sounding. Silas is NMS, but it is much more pleasant to the ears than Ryker.

Silas is literally a million times better than Ryker. Ryker screams trendy, trying to sound "cool", a prison and honestly pretty bad as a name. Silas is fantastic. I actually like RIchard as well and I have never heard of Ryker being an alternate.

All of this.

Silas is not my style but Ryker is atrocious.

I can't believe no one likes Ryker. I love it!

Ryker is horrible

almost ANY other name out there would be better

Silas

I kinda like Silas Ryker. or vice versa. We are doing something like that. my fav and dh's fav combined with one as middle name and one as first name. a nice compromise.

Silas by a mile

catahoulatte · July 2014

Oh Lordy. Silas. Please. Your daughters' names are lovely and classic. Please don't pair them with Ryker.

I liked both and had both on my list of names. DH took Silas off of the list (I still think it's a great name) and I removed Ryker after so many people had the immediate association to the the prison. I felt if that many people immediately thought of the prison it would only be a matter of time before a classmate made the association and starting picking on the name.

I have never particularly cared for Silas. But is so much better than Ryker. Naming your son after a famous prison is not cute.

My thoughts exactly. Nothing wrong with loving Trek but at least spell it the same way
