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 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.
*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.
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.

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.
