I read that Silkies often go broody and make good mother so in the future you will have mother hen to hatch out eggs for you.

I have not use incubator before so I don't have experience in this to share with you, other members here will give you tips on this.

Here is the link to incubating hatching from BYC:

With candling the eggs, you will see some development around the 4th day from my experience and near the hatching day you will hear the baby chick making tiny sound.

Exciting time for you, enjoy!
 
Oh, names. We'll, you can go for a theme, like names of flowers, famous actors, singers, etc.

I personally just look at mine and come up with names. If hubby names them, he starts their names out with the first initial of the color so he can have an easier time keeping track. Like we have Wyatt and Winnie are a pair of white ones, and Riley and Riff are two buff roosters, but he calls that color red. :)
