What are your thoughts on the name, Lilith? I've been toying with it lately and I think it's really pretty! It still has that "edgy" feel but it's still girly at the same time. A few combos I've come up with are

Lilith Ava
Lilith Sage
Lilith Harper
Lilith Zoé

What are your thoughts? Which is your favorite?

Next is Arianne. I think it's a cute spin on the more common Ariana. How would you pronounce it (Air-ee-anne OR Ah-ree-anne)? I love the first spelling, but it may sound a bit close to "Aryan..." What do you think?

Arianne Zoé-Grace
Arianne Elisabeth
Arianne Lily

I've also been into Silas. What do you think?

Silas Jude
Silas Adam
Silas Alexander
Silas Cole


Any thoughts/opinions/suggestions are greatly appreciated! ♥

I cannot express how beautiful Arianne is! I would pronounce it Air-ee-anne. Very beautiful. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

I like Lilith, thought when I see it I always associate it with vampires because of the show True Blood. Still beautiful, nonetheless. I love the combo Lilith Sage.

Silas is a very handsome name that I've seen around often. Love the combo Silas Jude.

Lilith is pretty. I like it I have a really hard time saying it personally though. I have slight troubles saying Lily though, and the -ith is just very difficult after the Lil- and all.. Idk! Its so pretty when I think about it - even if my saying it ruins it for me personally Haha! Anyway, I think both Lilith Harper and Lilith Zo

é are very pretty! Lilith Sage works nicely as well, I guess it just feels very naturey. Which isn't bad, just my thought. Lilith Ava is nice as well, but doesn't have quite as nice flow as your other combo's. My favorite is Lilith Harper

Hmm, when I see Arianne, I assume its ah-ree-ahn... not air-ee-an (which does make me think Aryan). Though when I say Ariana, I also say ah-ree-ahn-uh, so I see Arianne being very similar. I think Aerie-Anne would serve to the sound your looking for, though it looks a bit clunky. I like it, but it is

undeniably

clunky. Anyway, Arianne looks beautiful. (though I have to say I dislike the idea of it sounding like Aryan. Idk why, just doesn't feel right). I think Arianne Elisabeth is my favorite, closely followed by Arianne

Zo

é-Grace. I'm not a fan of Arianne Lily, purely because I don't feel the flow. Its not bad though, just a personal thing.

Silas is handsome! <3 I used to have it on my list. Silas Jude is super handsome, feels super literary as well. Makes me think of Silas Marner and Jude the Obscure. The first one not necessarily bad, the second is eh. Jude The Obscure is a good book, just depressing and sad. Random thoughts here lol, Silas Jude is handsome though! I'm personally not a fan of Adam, but thats just me. Silas Adam is fine. Silas Alexander is super handsome, I think its my favorite. It just feels so handsome!! I love Silas Cole as well <3

Very nice names, Laramie! (oh, and btw. I was reading through a topic of yours with Mike and he says your name is really pretty just thought you'd like to know lol!).

I think Lilith is okay. A nice alternative to the classic Lillian. I like Lilith Sage best of your choices, though Lilith Harper is a close second.

I would pronounce Arianne as "Are-ee-anne". It's not really my style but I think it's an okay name. Arianne Lily is my favorite, though again I have a close second favorite: Arianne Elisabeth.

Again, Silas isn't my style, but I don't have anything against it. Silas Alexander seems to flow the best to me.

Lilith is nice, though not my personal favorite. I like Lilith Harper best from the combos you included. I also like Ava Lilith, if you're considering it as a middle name.

Arianne looks beautiful to me, but I'm not sure how I would pronounce it. I say Ariana like "are-ee-ahn-uh", but "are-ee-ahn" sounds strange to me, and so does "air-ee-ann". So I'm not sure.

Arianne Lily (ah-ree-anne)
Silas Jude

I LOVE Lilith. It's on my list and not going anywhere! If I had twin girls, they would be Elizabeth and Lilith. My hubby isn't a fan of it but I don't care what he thinks. Willow and Elizabeth were mainly his suggestions! Also I think Harper grounds Lilith beautifully! It flows well, sounds good out loud and looks good written down. It's great having names on paper but you gotta test them out! Yell it through the house with your surname to see if it really fits (I yell angrily because I think I'd only use full names if they're in trouble and I don't want them laughing at their names!). If it doesn't suit/you have doubts then second for me is Lilith Ava. Sage reminds me of the herb and an old man (Wise Old Sage) and Zoé is my cousins name so I'm just too used to it, though that would be my third choice because it has great meaning and rolls off the tongue beautifully.

When I read Arianne, I pronounced it ah-ree-anne in my head so that's what I'd stick with and I prefer Arianne over Ariana though I'm not entirely sure why right now (little sleep deprived!). I think Lily goes with either pronunciation of Arianne and Arianne Elisabeth would be my second choice. I think Zoé-Grace would flow better as an either or sort of thing, either Arianne Zoé or Arianne Grace. Huh, I actually quite like Arianne Grace. I like it better than Arianne Lily to be honest!

I loooooove Silas and Jude! They're a brilliant name combo for me! Next would be Silas Cole then Silas Adam!
