Three-syllablle boys' names for a lisper

22 replies

gertrudestein · 27/03/2013 16:09

The surname rhymes with 'Killer', so names ending in -er are out. I like names like Leo, Isaac, Hugo, Arlo, Kit, but have just realised (to my horror) that three syllable names like Alisdair have a much better ring!

Don't like Alisdair (it's a nice name, but I have a lisp). Can you suggest any others? (preferably without 's' sounds! Z is fine ..)

It is annoying, sometimes I get really conscious of it and try to avoid using S words Grin I love Elijah too would put it on the list if if we had anymore dc.

It's annoying isn't it OzmaofOz? in normal life you just have to get on with it, but it seems perverse to name my own child something I can't say! I love love Elijah, that's a new one on me

I love Jonathan, but if you combine it with DP's surname you get the name of a famous paedophile Shock !

I have a lisp too, and it's typical that all the names I like begin with an S.
Yeah I thought of Dominic too.
Elijah,
Jonathan,
Zachary,
Erm erm erm I think that's it.
