I am looking for a three syllable boy's name beginning with A.

I'm hoping that someone out there can come up with the perfect syllable-y A name...

I have thought of a fair few but none have been quite right.

Help me please!

My dog is called Alfonzo (but that’s his fancy name reserved for special occasions, he’s only ever called Alfie) Grin

Fat fingers, sorry. It is AMORY

Notanotherottenotter · 17/04/2018 07:09

Amory. Just read Sweet Caress by William Boyd, and the character called Amort was a woman, but it’s a boy’s name too, and quite a good one I think.

Grin Fiction? Or a poem OP?

Achilles

ElizaDontlittle · 17/04/2018 06:17

Artemis is definitely female.
Alberto
Alfredo

On the Anderson, surname-y theme
Atherton
Appleton
Ackerman

Of the ones above Abraham and Anthony are probably the best. What's the theme with the other DC?

Athelstan!

TheOrigRightsofwomen · 17/04/2018 05:19

Artichoke

Alexei, if you like Alexander but want 3 syllables.
