Boys names - one syllable?

36 replies

Dalmore30 · 22/05/2020 16:35

Hello,

I’m expecting my first baby in 5 weeks and am still nowhere closer to settling on a name.
I like boys names that are one syllable or end in a ‘y’ sound.

Any suggestion very much appreciated!

Here are some I like but partner doesn’t :/

Finn
Ritchie
Bailey
Cove
Oli

I mentioned Perry on another thread, might work.

Y sounds are all two syllable. Y is the second syllable. If you want one sharp syllable name there are lots including the above and:

Ben
Dan
Dev
Ed
Fred
Ged
Ger
Hal
Jon
Ken
Len
Mal
Ned
Per
Rod

What about Cole? Cove is too reminiscent of Covid IMHO

Very good point re Covid. Can’t believe I didn’t think of that Confused

Cove? No. Sounds like it is short for Covid.

When I read your OP I immediately thought of Roy.

I like Cove, and I know a baby one. Be prepared for a lot of people to associate it with Covid at this time though! (Not that it will matter a few months down the line)

AragornsManlyStubble · 22/05/2020 18:12

I love Cove. Smile

But I also suggest Bay

Not keen on Cove, it's shorthand for a "bit of a lad" I think. He would be the naughty boy at school! Wink
