HelpRe: Edward or Harold?
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
You know what? I'm gonna go with Zia Harold Silver.
I admit the grandfather association is pinging something in me, because my own grandfather isn't doing very well, and the thought of his name being honored makes me all warm and fuzzy inside (his name HAS been honored by a cousin using it for her son's middle name. It's Albert and everyone thought it was old-fashioned and awful, but she used it anyway. Go, cousin.) So, yeah, I vote for Zia Harold Silver. I kind of like Zia for a boy, BTW. It's feminine, but it's not so feminine that I can't ever picture it on a boy; it's not Julianna or Isabella or Sophia. And after seeing a lot of girl Rileys and Peytons and Sawyers in BA's, I think using a feminine name for a boy is just fine. Evens the playing field, or whatever.

Yeah, exactly. And this isn't my #1 boys combo; DH has already approved Ashley and loves Jorah (which, to anyone not watching GoT, is probably pretty feminine, it's a letter off Norah), so Zia / Ziya can complain about his girly name to his older brothers.
Between your comments and Pie's, I think I'm going to go with Harold. I was going to go with Edward by popular vote but nah.
