Silas? What say baby names?

I've been mulling this one over for months but ended up using Miles in the end. I couldn't get H on board. He loves Cyrus, but I can't get past the Billy-Ray connection. I also think that Silas would make a better sib set with Wyatt and Miles than Cyrus would.

Thoughts?

First, love Miles.

I like Silas. It is not my favorite name, but I do like it. I think it works well with Wyatt and Miles.

I do not like Cyrus at all. It makes me think of Billy-Ray as well. It also makes me think "virus."

I love Silas. I also like Cyrus, but I agree that the Billy Ray thing is too much.

Silas goes really well with Wyatt and Miles.

I like Silas, but I like Miles a lot more.  I also think Miles goes better with Wyatt.  Silas and Wyatt almost sound like they rhyme.

I really like your DS's names. I think Silas fits with the sibset but I don't personally like it myself. it reminds me of the creepy looking Monk from the Da Vinci code.

I love you to the moon and back!

I dont like it. All I see and hear is Sile-ass. Sorry, it just has absolutely nothing handsome or redeeming about it.

I like Silas and think that it sounds really cute with Wyatt and Miles, but like PP, I can't get past the Monk in the Da Vinci Code :)  If that isn't an issue for you, I really like it!  I don't really like Cyrus.  I agree with your H!

I think Silas Marner. but my mother knows someone at their church who named their baby Silas. NMS but I could see a cute little boy as much as a teenager, adult, and old man named Silas.

I like it, and I think it would make a good sibset with Miles and Wyatt.

I love Wyatt and Miles- great sibset :)

I like the name Silas. But, I don't think it sounds very good with Miles, I think they sound too similar and are kind of a tongue twister when you say them one after the other. I definitely prefer Silas to Cyrus, though.
