Boys names ending in "ah" sound?

39 replies

Squelchsquerch · 24/12/2017 08:33

This is easy peasy for girls names e.g. Eva, Matilda, Hannah etc

But finding it hard to think of a shortlist of good boys names. So far have thought of Ezra, Ivor and Jonah.

Any ideas much appreciated

I met a baby Joah recently which I thought was a lovely name.

If there is an 'r' at the end then the majority of English speakers (that would be those with rhotic accents) will pronounce the 'r' so if you want your son to have a name ending in 'ah' I'd avoid all the 'ar' ending names Hmm in case he ever meets a Scottish/Irish/American/Indian person.

Trevah
Like Trevor, but more ah

froshiechipandbrickie · 25/12/2017 22:29

The ah' or 'er' does indeed depend on a person's accent. But it is something one might want consider (or not. OP, would the 'er' sound bother you?)

What, Ezra, Ivor and Jonah all have an -er sound at the end for everyone? I don't think so. That's a rhotic vs non-rhotic accent issue but the -er sound isn't the default, correct pronunciation, so Biscuit to you Tino .

CapnCabinet · 24/12/2017 15:06

Jedediah

TinoTheArtisticMouse · 24/12/2017 15:06

Well actually all of ops name examples have an 'er' sound, not an 'ah'.
The only suggestion so far that actually ends in 'ah' is Finbar.
So Biscuit midsomer

I’m not sure where Alistair would be said with an ah sound at the end, perhaps by Margot Leadbetter in 1970s Wimbledon.

Seems to depend on your accent as for me some of these suggestions don't end in ah but er...

Daragh would be my suggestion
