What Do You Think of the Name Silver?

I may be a little late on this one, but I have an opinion (doesn't everyone? lol), and I felt like sharing it. My daughter has an unusual name. Jewel Liberty. Jewel is a family name, so no one complained about that, but my family is, let's say "terribly conventional," and they argued with us about Liberty. Here's the important thing to remember: if you love it, and you don't think it will cause the child heartache (my husband once had a student named fellatia... ouch), then go with it. You are the folks who will make the most difference in her life. She won't be defined by her name, she will be defined by her character. Who cares if it's the name of a person on a tv show? That is fleeting. Stripper name? Not unless you give her a middle name like Tassles. Do what's in your heart. You'll figure it out.

Wow, that was unusually serious for me. =) Anyway, congrats on the new baby. I'm sure she'll be beautiful no matter what you name her!

It makes me thing... Hi Ho, Silver! Away!!!!

The good thing is, if you had a boy next, or even a twin, you could name him Trigger! :)

I don't love it or hate it...kinda just okay to me. I thought of the new 90210 charachter. But I would suggest using it for a week or 2 to see how you like it. If you feel wird saying it, then move on. If you love saying it, then who cares what other people think? I like how Silver Marie sounds, though.

I agree with the post that said it sounds like a stripper name. Sorry, but it is a good Texas or cowboy name for a boy.

not digging it here....hard to imagine a 50 year old woman one day with the name Silver :-)

i LOVE it. a few middle names that would go well are: marie, adyson, aaralyn, adalyn

those are a few that come to mind. I just had a baby girl in June so i've had some names stuck in my head. haha

No, many kids with unusual names have a harder time in school.

Hi A.,
The first thing that came to mind was "hi ho Silver" so I would vote no on the name. Silver might be a name used by a hollywood starlet, but I would think seriously about naming my daughter the same name as a famous horse.

Congratulations on your new baby whatever you decide to name her!

I don't like it, but congrats on the new baby!

I like the name! Its actually the name of one of the characters on the new 90210 tv show.

If it doesn't roll off YOUR tongue easily, it isn't worth naming your baby Silver. You will be using that name a lot so choose wisely. Maybe try saying it lovingly then yell it like you're telling her off. Sounds silly but why not?

If Silver is a character on 90201 I'd steer clear.

Congrats on the new baby, I'm sure she will be amazing no matter what you decide to name her :)

PS. Good call on nixing Dude

I didn't read the other posts, but a little bit of advice. How about having the first name as more traditional and the 2nd name as his/her father's choosing. After he/she is here you can choose the unique name or the traditional, whatever seems to fit your baby.

I do agree with your aunt, though.

Good luck! and congrats!

If you like it try not to care what others think......

but since you are asking.....anyone over the age of 50 will automatically thing of Roy Rogers horse....Silver. "Hi Ho Silver!"

I really like unique names so this one sounds great to me. I would probably choose it more for a boy though.

Don't take this the wrong way but it sounds like a stripper name to me !

Sorry to be the first, but I hate it. Doesn't sound like a girls name to me at all. Not saying I like these names but along the same premiss... Five and Six are names I have heard of as of late, I cannot remember where. Jade, Rain/Rayne, Willow, Story (I love this one.) Also my husband and I had Boston picked for a boy, but when we found out we where having a girl he wasn't going for it, but it could work. When I heard Silver the first thing I thought was a cowboy or western theme/connotation. Hi ho silver.... Sorry.

Silver is my 2nd daughters' middle name...Elise Silver. I had a big fight with my family because they hated it. Ultimately, it's you and your husband's choice. So, didn't get caught up in what others say! By the way, we chose that name because my husband had a grandmother that he was close to as a child that was named "Silveria" (she was Phillipino). We shortened it to "Silver" and now my daughter will always be connected to her daddy's family by her middle name. Family names are very important to me. Congratulations on the coming baby!
